Additional Info

• The most important distinction here is whether there was purely a Thoracentesis (diagnostic) or a therapeutic drainage done.
  • As per the rules for procedures, when at the same sitting there was a diagnostic procedure AND a therapeutic one, you code BOTH.
    • So if a chest tube is inserted and some of that fluid is sent off for diagnostic testing, then also code Thoracentesis (diagnostic)
  • There could be an unusual circumstance where a therapeutic drainage is done WITHOUT a tube being left in place, in which case instead of this code, you'd use components:
    • (T) Pleura plus
    • Drainage, Evacuation

Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition
