A: Usually, pleural effusion is integral to congestive heart failure and isn't coded as a secondary diagnosis. But, if the physician documents that the pleural effusion is clinically significant and required monitoring and further evaluation, then it can be reported as a secondary diagnosis.

What is pleural effusion? Pleural effusion, sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs. The pleura are thin membranes that line the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity and act to lubricate and facilitate breathing.
32555 is for puncture of the pleural space with the insertion of a needle or catheter placed for aspiration of fluid. After the procedure is complete, the catheter or needle is removed. 32557 for placement of a non-tunneled chest tube into the pleural space for drainage, and will remain in pleural space.
From 2012, CPT code for chest drainage with a catheter (32551) was changed to an open procedure designation. . Code 32556 or 32557 are used for percutaneous placement of an indwelling pleural drainage tube.
CPT® 32556, Under Introduction and Removal Procedures on the Lungs and Pleura. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 32556 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Introduction and Removal Procedures on the Lungs and Pleura.
The most common causes of pleural effusion are congestive heart failure, cancer, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism. Pleural fluid puncture (pleural tap) enables the differentiation of a transudate from an exudate, which remains, at present, the foundation of the further diagnostic work-up.
Fibrotic scar tissue may develop, creating pockets of fluid in the pleural cavity, preventing effective drainage of the fluid. This condition is designated as a Loculated Pleural Effusion (LPE) and leads to pain and shortness of breath, as the lungs are not able to properly expand.
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) denotes an advanced malignant disease process. Most of the MPE are metastatic involvement of the pleura from primary malignancy at lung, breast, and other body sites apart from lymphomas.
Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by an increase in amounts of fluid within the pleural cavity. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough and marked chest discomfort. An abnormal collection of fluid between the thin layers of tissue (pleura) lining the lung and the wall of the chest cavity.
It is usually caused by lung infections, congestive heart failure, pleural and lung tumors, connective tissue disorders, and trauma. Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces.
The ICD code J86 is used to code Pleural empyema. Pleural empyema, also known as pyothorax or purulent pleuritis, is empyema (an accumulation of pus) in the pleural cavity that can develop when bacteria invade the pleural space, usually in the context of a pneumonia. It is one of various kinds of pleural effusion.
ICD Code J86 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of J86 that describes the diagnosis 'pyothorax' in more detail. J86 Pyothorax. NON-BILLABLE. BILLABLE.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code J86 is a non-billable code.
There are three stages: exudative, when there is an increase in pleural fluid with or without the presence of pus; fibrinopurulent, when fibrous septa form localized pus pockets; and the final organizing stage, when there is scarring of the pleura membranes with possible inability of the lung to expand.
Use Additional Code note means a second code must be used in conjunction with this code. Codes with this note are Etiology codes and must be followed by a Manifestation code or codes.
