Good morning all,
One of our Pedicatric Cardiologists has requested information if the below is an additional procdure that may billed for. I cannot even locate a correct procedure code for the delivery of nitrous oxide via nasal cannula?
"In patients with pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasodilator testing with inhaled nitric oxide (NO) during cardiac catheterization provides valuable data for defining future care plans."
Would you bill additionally for this procedure, if so what code would you use? Any literature I have found suggests that this is considered investigational for any patients other than the neonate. THis is for a pedicatric patient.
Any guidance or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mary Beth
