What is a port a cath?

Answer:#N#A peritoneal port-a-cath is a small reservoir that is surgically implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen. The device can be used to deliver antineoplastic medications, or withdraw excessive fluid from the peritoneal cavity through a catheter connected to the port. In this case the port is being inserted into the abdominal subcutaneous tissue and fascia, not the chest wall. Two codes are assigned, one for the catheter and the other for the peritoneal port. Since ICD-10-PCS does not provide a specific code for the insertion of the peritoneal port, the closest available equivalent is “Insertion of reservoir into abdomen subcutaneous tissue and fascia.” Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 1 0WHG33Z Insertion of infusion device into peritoneal cavity, percutaneous approach, for the catheter insertion 2 0JH80WZ Insertion of reservoir into abdomen subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach, for insertion of the peritoneal port
