Peritoneal drainage from tube
Patient presents to Infusion center for fluid removal from abdominal cavity. RN attaches a catheter drain kit to the tube and procedes to drain the ascities fluid. Is there an approprite CPT® code for this or is this an OV only? the procedure is not suctioning or aspirating, it is simply attaching a kit and the fluid begins to drain.
