The objective of this article is to examine the coding of hydration with CPT® codes 96360, Intravenous infusion, hydration; initial, 31 minutes to 1 hour, and 96361, Intravenous infusion, hydration; each additional hour. The purpose of hydration intravenous (IV) infusion is to hydrate.
96523If the patient is seen only for a port flush, code 96523 should be used. If you use a de-clotting or thrombolytic agent, you should use code 36550. Also remember to use the J-code for the specific thrombolytic agent used. The diagnosis code should be the patient's primary cancer and Z45.

Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
