I'm coding a patient who had venous thrombolysis (catheter) started early in the day in the subclavian vein. The patient is brought down for a "catheter check" later in the day. My question is that because the patient came down in the same day, the lysis check is not billable? The patient also had a catheter check the next day and a stent was placed in the subclavian vein.
