Hello.
Physician removed a ganglion cyst in the foot and then also ligated a varicose vein in the foot.
He states in the operative report that there was a large varicose vein associated with the deep plantar arch and it was ligated with a suture and controlled with cautery.
I have found the code for excision of the ganglion cyst (28090) but am having difficulty finding the code for the ligation of the varicose vein.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
