I have an NP that is doing spinal pump refills and have been coding the 95990 and 62368. I am wondering if 95990 is the correct code. I have been not using the 95991 because it specifically states by "physician". Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is the 95990 the appropriate code for an NP?
Thanks
Peggy
 
Rebecca,
Thank you for your reply, but that isn't what I am asking. I need to know if an NP should use the 95990? Or can you use the 95991 even though it says by "physician".
thanks
Peggy
 
I was careful to answer this question since incident to does not apply in the hospital setting. I wasn't sure where the procedure took place.

Excerpt from CPT Assistant...

Code 95990 has no physician work value and describes the services reported by the nonphysician provider, while code 95991 is reported for the physician services provided in the refilling and maintenance of the implantable pump or reservoir.
