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)
 
 
 - As per the rules for procedures, when at the same sitting there was a diagnostic procedure AND a therapeutic one, you code BOTH.
 
Includes
- pigtail catheter
 - pleurx catheter drain
 
Excludes
- 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:

- "CCI collect first" items are entered the first time they happen
 - Px Date
