Cholecystostomy tube check 47525

Date: Nov 9, 2011

Question:

Hi Dr.Z: I would just like to clarify the coding for a cholecystostomy tube check with change of the tube. According to the information on Ask Dr. Z Database the coding could vary for example 49424/76080 & 49423/75984 for tube check & change or 47505/74305 & 47525/75984. Your new IR reference book (2011) implies to always use 47505/74305 & 47525/75984. Please advise?
