Outpatient PICC program

Posting the following question from a colleague

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Montgomery General is looking at starting an outpatient, RN based PICC program.  

The team currently places a majority of inpatient PICC lines and has some questions regarding expanding into the outpatient arena.
 
Our first question is regarding billing codes, with a nurse based program what billing codes can be used?
 
Also, there is a  supervision component as part of the CMS guidelines for outpatients, who supervises outpatient PICC programs at existing programs?
