When a provider is managing an epidural for pain management in the hospital, CPT code 01996 is used for the daily management of the patient. Would it be appropriate to use 01996 when the provider sees the patient in the morning for the daily management and, during that management time, decides to remove the epidural that evening?
 
Is no one having this type of event come up with daily management of epidurals?
Thanks in advance!
