Code the insertion, as well as the removal of both the infusion device and the vascular access device. Assign the following ICD-10-PCS codes: 02PY33Z Removal of infusion device from great vessel, percutaneous approach, for removal of the infusion portion of the catheter
The device has a small reservoir, but it does not function as a reservoir to store medicine during the course of therapy. Assign the ICD-10-PCS code as follows: 0JH63XZ Insertion of vascular access device into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach.
In ICD-10-PCS, a percutaneous approach is defined as entry, by puncture or minor incision, of instrumentation through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to reach the site of the procedure. Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Device (Port-a-Cath)- Q2 2015
One challenging coding area with the ICD-10 transition is the coding of venous and arterial lines and catheters. This article aims to provide greater clarity with regard to procedure coding tips for coding of venous catheters.

Long term (current) use of anticoagulants Z79. 01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z79. 01 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Overview. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure, done under general anesthesia, in which small electric currents are passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a brief seizure. ECT seems to cause changes in brain chemistry that can quickly reverse symptoms of certain mental health conditions.
Assign CPT 96360- IV hydration, initial 31-90 minutes, and CPT 96361 (add on code), used once infusion lasts 91 minutes in length. An intravenous infusion of hydration of 30 minutes or less is not billable. Hydration infusion must be at least 31 minutes in length to bill the service.
When you bill IV hydration along with IV pushes, always report the IV push as the initial code. According to the CPT hierarchy, the initial code must be 96374.
Intravenous (IV) infusions are billed based upon the CPT®/HCPCS description of the service rendered. A provider may bill for the total time of the infusion using the appropriate add-on codes (i.e. the CPT®/HCPCS for each additional unit of time) if the times are documented.
Inspection of Upper Intestinal Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic. ICD-10-PCS 0DJ08ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
K. P. Answer : The fourth character of the ICD-10-PCS code provides information regarding the specific body part, anatomical site, or body region upon which the procedure, service, or treatment was performed. identifies the section in which the procedure is listed.
In ICD-10-PCS the seventh character defines the qualifier – i.e., an additional attribute of the procedure, if applicable.
Excision of Brain, Open Approach 00B00ZZ ICD-10-PCS code 00B00ZZ for Excision of Brain, Open Approach is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves range.
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.
Question: The patient has a malfunctioning right internal jugular tunneled catheter. At surgery, the old catheter was removed and a new one placed. Under ultrasound guidance, the jugular was cannulated; the cuff of the old catheter was dissected out; and the entire catheter removed.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T50.2X5A became effective on October 1, 2021.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
Intravenous (IV) infusions are billed based upon the CPT®/HCPCS description of the service rendered. A provider may bill for the total time of the infusion using the appropriate add-on codes (i.e. the CPT®/HCPCS for each additional unit of time) if the times are documented. Providers may not bill separately for items/services that are part of the procedures (e.g., use of local anesthesia, IV start or preparation of chemotherapy agent).
An IV push is an infusion of 15 minutes or less and requires that the health care professional administering the injection is continuously present to observe the patient.
When requested, providers should submit documentation indicating the volume, start and stop times, and infusion rate (s) of any drugs and solution provided. In the absence of the stop time the provider should be able to calculate the infusion stop time with the volume, start time, and infusion rate.
Only one initial code is allowed per patient encounter unless two separate IV sites are medically reasonable and necessary (use modifier 59). If the patient returns for a separate and medically reasonable and necessary visit/encounter on the same day, another initial code may be billed for that visit with CPT® modifier 59.
There is no concurrent code for either a chemotherapeutic IV infusion or hydration. Can a concurrent infusion be billed?
There must be a clinical reason that justifies the sequential (rather than concurrent) infusion. Sequential infusions may also be billed only once per sequential infusion of same infusate mix.
