CPT 49400 refers to the Current Procedural Terminology code used to describe the insertion of a catheter into a peritoneal cavity for the purpose of drainage, often associated with conditions like ascites. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pressure or to collect fluid for diagnostic purposes. The code is part of the broader category of procedures related to the management of fluid collections in the body. Proper coding is essential for accurate billing and reimbursement in medical practices.
