Wiki Tap cath for c section pain mgmt

[zona6789@yahoo.com]

HI Guru

I asked a similar question on 1-3-2014 that you havent responded to yet.

at any rate, wanted to ask if the TAP cath is used post c section where an Epidural is the technique for anesthesia, what code is used for Tap cath that day of the epidural.

So there would be 2 caths the same day in this case, correct?

and can I bill the 01996 for the post op days that we follow up?

Thank you as always.

Happy New Year

Judith

I initially responded to your previous post (similar procedure) but do not know the answer to this post. Hope someone familiar coding in this setting can help.
