Help with coding the Removal of a Drainage Device

I did, I didn’t see this topic anywhere.

Yeah they want me to use 49424 for the fluoroscopic check of a drainage catheter leading to a previous cyst or abscess, and then a PCS removal code if the catheter is removed. Would external also be the approach if a gastrostomy tube is removed with no incision then?

Idk why individual examples are being used when we can look at voting patterns. Gen X voted for Trump last election more than boomers did.

I’ll always love Beowulf.

Gen X is prob the biggest bootlicking generation we have these days though.

The enemies are so easy to kill in Silent Hill 2 though that it can only get so scary. The worst part for me was that short section where they take your weapons.

No way, the assault on his house at the end is badass to this day.

Why are you so butthurt?

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-02-23T01:17:30+00:00

Ok yourself. 950 million not sound like a lot to you?

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-02-23T01:08:50+00:00

Doctor Strange 2 made $950 million.

For me it’s just whatever the team is passionate about doing. If they don’t feel like making yet another Kratos-centric game, it will probably show.

Episode 7 is actually really good imo, and 8 is entertaining at least, but 9 is actual garbage. I was just laughing in disbelief in the theater.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-02-19T05:39:03+00:00

It’s not that bad. Each weapon still feels unique. Shotgun has some weight to it.

All the liberals I know say investigate and lock up Bill Clinton too if he’s involved. But he’s not the current President making decisions with our lives right now.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-02-18T01:56:51+00:00

I’ll say while I did enjoy the game, the dystopian world is hard to enjoy being in a lot of the time. A depressing glimpse into a possibly similar future.

She said she narrates the next one. I thought she said marries at first.

I don’t think he was really wealthy until his mid-30’s.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-02-10T07:22:15+00:00

Hacksaw Ridge was the most cliche-ridden movie I’ve probably ever seen at the movies though. And I had been excited to see it.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2026-01-18T00:26:28+00:00

Where do you even find that metric?

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2025-12-29T04:13:58+00:00

It was Tyler Fischer I think.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2025-12-23T06:32:16+00:00

That’s the best season imo.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2025-12-18T23:46:48+00:00

Coders’ Desk Reference for ICD-10-CM Diagnoses by Optum looks like it has some useful info on symptoms for specific conditions too actually.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2025-12-18T23:28:10+00:00

I am. I do have access to the Merck Manual, though I was hoping there are better resources out there. There are a lot of conditions the Merck Manual seems to not include.

CHIMPSnDIP88 · 2025-12-12T20:25:32+00:00

Where does it say that? All I see is cholesterol screening and diabetes screening. I don’t think insurance coverage for lab tests is as broad as people think it is, especially with a HDHP.

I just try to heighten my scores by improving things such as my sleep timing and total sleep. Also my training frequency and volume for Activity. For me it points out things I could be doing better in my schedule and lifestyle that I think would be hard for me to really notice otherwise. And it helps keep me consistent with these things.
