These would all be big issues. You would also be taking the liability if this person came in house to put the picc line in and it was out of place and you ran fluids. It is always better to get them verified by x-ray. Either way, it will cost you money.

We are trying to determine if it would be beneficial to have a group come in-house to place PICC lines. If we have a Medicare A resident that we send out to the hospital for a PICC line, are we responsible for the procedure in our per diem rate? How about the X-ray to verify placement? Transportation to and from?
