1. Placement of 13cm temporary hemodialysis catheter for acute kidney injury
Under US guidance, the right internal jugular vein was cannulated followed by a wire. A small incision was made. The tract was dilated and 13cm catheter was placed.
Both ports aspirated and flushed easily and were capped. The catheter was sutured in place and dressed.
I want to code 36556 but the ports are throwing me.
Also, do you code Z99.2 with acute kidney dx?
Thanks!!
