Brand new to me. Very brief OP notes and provider is using 34802, 34812-50, 34825, 34826. Here is the bulk of the entire note:
"both groins were accessed w/US guidance & a 6-french sheath placed. We then proceeded w/placement of sheaths on the left side. The right side we performed embolization and coiling of the left internal hypogastric artery & then proceeded w/abdo aortic aneurysm."
I dont understand these terms such as "coil" and "sheath" because mostly what I'm seeing on here as far as examples and OP notes are concerned, are "stent" or "cuff" or "extender" and "prosthesis" so I'm getting lost in translation.
Can you point out these codes in this OP note? Are they the correct codes? The only thing I see clearly is the 34812-50 to be honest. And possibly the 34802, but I'm not getting the 34825/26 AT ALL. Any help is greatly appreciated!
