My Dr decided to treat a well known patient with years of condyloma today with infrared Coagulation. The only Infrared Coag code is for Hemorrhoids but if you google there is many.... articles that states IRC is FDA approved for treating AIN, VIN, LSIL, HSIL, condyloma, pre mal lesions etc..... but I cant find anything that would be used for that besides the 46930 (which states destruction of internal hemorrhoids) Any suggestions?
Procedures:
