Final answer:
The CPT® code for chemopleurodesis is 32551 and the ICD-10-CM code for chronic pneumothorax is J93.11.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a patient with chronic pneumothoraces who presents for chemopleurodesis, the following CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes would typically be reported:
- CPT® code 32551 for chemical pleurodesis
