Answer:

The CPT code that is reported is the number 32960 called the therapeutic pneumothorax.

Explanation:

Pneumothorax is diagnosed by a chest x-ray. In some cases, a CT scan may be necessary to provide more specific images. An ultrasound can also be used to identify a pneumothorax. The goal is to avoid pressure in the lung to allow it to expand again. The methods to achieve these objectives depend on the severity of the lung collapse and sometimes on the general state of health
