Wiki 2014 CPT code for removal of foley catheter

[cdr4life]

Hello, I am requesting some guidance on how to code an office visit with simple removal of a foley catheter. I have seen some sources where it is bundled with the E/M code, is this correct? Are there any sources leading up to where it is bundled?

I work in a primary care office in Arizona,

Thank you,

The simple removal of a Foley catheter is included when billed in conjunction with an E/M service. There is no code for a simple catheter removal.

I am wondering if anyone knows if you can bill a Nurse Time if an RN removes the catheter in the Physician Office. Thank you for your help!
