Dear all,
i have this operation:
Operation Name:RT POSTERIOR THIGH MASS WIDE LOACAL EXCSION
Procedures: UNDER G.A AND EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA PRONE POSITION SCRUBBING AND
DRIPPING OF RT LOWER LIMB LONGTODINAL POSTERIOR SKIN INCSION INCLOUDE BIOPSY
SITE DISSECTION DOWN TO FASCIA IDENTIFICATION OF THE MASS WAS SOFT BY
PALPATION MAKING PERSTRANING SUTURE MAKING PUNCTURE OF CENTER INSERTION OF
SUCTION AND ASPIRATION OF FLUID AND NECROTIC MATERIA REMOVAL SUCTION AND
SELLING OF PUNCTURE THEN DISSECTION AROUND THE MASS
EXPLORATION AND RESERVATION OF SCIATIC NERVE AND POPLITEAL VESSEL
ENBLOCK RESECTION OH THE MASS INCLUDE THE PART OF BICEPS FEMORIS MUSCLE AND
SKIN BIOPSY
HEMOSTASIS WASHING DRAIN INSERTION REPAIR OF REMAINANT OF BICEPS
CLOSURE DEAD SPACE BY PROXIMATION OF MUSCLE
CLSURE OF FACSIA SUBCUTANOUS TISSUE CLOSURE SLIN BY STAPLER
DRAIN FIXATION DRESSING BACK SLAPE KNEE FLEXTION 30 DEGREE
POST OP EXAM PT DORSIFLEXTION INTACT AND PLANTERFLEXTION INTACT
VASCULAR INTACT
The doctor chose 27339 for the excision, but he said we should add a code for (EXPLORATION AND RESERVATION OF SCIATIC NERVE AND POPLITEAL VESSEL)...i was wondering the exploration and reservation is integral part of the main procedure, so no code is needed, if not what is the code ?
