Avoid Confusion Over Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Posted on 18. Jun, 2012 by dchandhok.

Question: Our pulmonologist recently treated a patient with pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea and severe non-productive cough attributed to Type 1 decompression sickness following a scuba diving incident. The patient also showed symptoms of joint pains, fatigue and peripheral edema. Our pulmonologist treated the patient with hyperbaric oxygen therapy to relieve the symptoms he was facing. I am confused whether to use C1300 or 99183 to report this procedure that our pulmonologist performed?
