What kind of CPT code is 01.26?? It's an insertion of catheter, but I can't locate it in the CPT book. Any ideas??
It's an ICD-9 procedure code. I bet you didn't know there was such a thing, did you? It's an old antiquated system. It's mainly used in facility billing nowadays. Here's a link to a searchable database..

Is there an equivilant CPT code for this procedure??
It is not so antiquated as you make it seem it is just used for inpatient procedures only. It will be replace when ICD-10 comes out with ICD-10 PCS which will also be inpatient only.
