I was wanting to get other professional coders opinion on what is needed in the documentation in order to bill for a central Venous Catheter. In the cpt book under the Central Venous Acess Procedure it is stated that "to qualify as a central venous catheter or device, the tip of the catheter/device must terminate in the subclavian,brachiocephalic (innominate) or iliac veins, the superior or inferior vena cava or right atrium." When the provider is documenting this procedure does it need to be stated where the tip terminates in order to bill for a central venous access catheter/device?
Thank you for you help!
