Wiki Blue Dye Test

[jbazzell]

I'm looking for a CPT code for a blue dye test used to diagnose a rectovaginal fistula. Blue dye is injected into the rectum and the tampon placed in the vagina, staining on the tampon indicates a presence of a fistula.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Would it be bundled with an office visit if performed in the office?

You're probably looking for methylene blue used to confirm patentcy.

We use an unlisted code with 57150 as a comparable.
