does anyone know what ICD-9 code is used for a power port placement. I just started coding recently b/c our coder is out on maternity leave. I have a v -code for the removal but cant seem to find a code for the placement
 
Hi
I use the diagnosis for specific cancer patient has, if port is for chemo. Is it for chemo, or for something else? :)
 
459.81 Venous (peripheral) insufficiency, unspecified

I use that with cancer dx and 36571 if its for chemo purposes.
 
I agree with using the dx for medical necessity but I would also attach V58.81 fitting and adjustment of vascular catheter (port)
