Inpatient PICC Nurses

They are usually only charged for the insertion kit( with the catheter of course). Nursing usually comes free with the room charge.Sometimes hospitals can add a charge for use of bedside ultrasound,but whether or not hospitals actually get that money is another thing as payments are often grouped by dx. Outpatient charges are a different story and patients can be charged for the insertion and equipment. that is how we do it where I work in Ca. How do others do it?
