Image-Guided Drain Placement

Montana rates for HCPCS 75989

This service uses live imaging - ultrasound, X-ray, or CT - to help a doctor guide a small tube into a fluid collection or infected pocket inside the body, such as an abscess. The imaging confirms the tube (catheter) is positioned correctly before it is left in place to drain. It is typically performed alongside the actual placement procedure rather than on its own.
