Pt had, in office, an injection of Methotrexate 12mg via Ommaya Reservoir. And prior to the injection, an aspiration of CFS.
What codes would I use?
J9250x3
96542
61070-59
Is that correct? Not sure if I am to use both 96542 and 61070 or just one.
96542 states chemo injection and 61070 states aspiration or injection.
I was told to use 96450 but that states requiring and including spinal puncture. no such procedure was done. Just an aspiration.
Thank you,
Lydia
