A. There is no specific code that accurately describes dye studies for the catheter used with infusion pumps. Based upon a query to the AMA and the association’s current philosophy to base coding on precise procedure descriptions, the unlisted procedure code 64999 should be used and a SPECIAL REPORT detailing the procedure, equipment and supplies should accompany the claim.
