Sweet apples to orange comparison.Do you start an IV on every patient you treat, too? I mean, you don't know when a patient could suddenly bottom out and code on you and its good to have vascular access and not need it, then need it and not have it. Nevermind the fact that you are lacking medical necessity. [Obviously, I'm referring to IFTs where you need to take little old Mrs. Smith to her regularly scheduled doctor's appt., not a critical pt.] This seems like more of a case of a procedure looking for an indication rather than an indicated procedure (if that makes any sense).
