Need help. Have a doctor doing a sclerotherapy injection for a lymph malformation. Going between codes 11900 and 38999. Any ideas on these or other code? Thanks, Penny
 
Penny,
You can also look at 20500/76080.
Noted in our CSI book is that these codes should be reported for all non-vascular sclerosis procedures (e.g. seroma, cyst, lymphocele, abscess...this is under the Sclerotherapy section in our book.
We have decided to stay with 38999...as ours are usually not just a lymphocele; they are lymphatic malformations.
Hope this is helpful.
Margie
