I'm not sure if this is a billable procedure and if so what code would be used. The patient is being treated in the ED and their OB/GYN asked the ED provider to perform the following:
Using a speculum was able to visualize the cervix with some mild bleeding in the 1 o'clock position. I used a large Q-tip to apply pressure to the area then use a half size amount of Surgicel and packed it up against the cervix. Patient tolerated the procedure well.
Is there a procedure code for this?
Thank you
