51701

Hi, can we bill 51701 during the postoperative period?

re: 51701

Without knowing the procedure performed, it is hard to say. What is the reason for the catheter? I would suggest looking at NCCI edits and rules on what the original procedure was. If it was surgery with global days, it is more than likely included and bundled into the procedure. If you want to send more information, I can help give a more informed answer.
