Wiki Can placement of Central Line (36556) for blood transfusion, and blood transfusion (36430) be coded together?

Hi!

I'm looking for a coding reference to confirm that CPT code 36430 (transfusion, blood or blood components) may be billed as a separate line item when the service is performed in conjunction with central line placement (36556).

Thank you!
