Wiki Popliteal Vein Aneurysm

[LIBBYM2]

One of the physicians I work with is getting ready to repair a popliteal vein aneurysm. We are trying to get this preapproved through the insurance and I am having trouble finding any codes for venous aneurysm repairs...
Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Aneurysm repair

Just wondering what code you decided on for aneurysm repair?

Depends on how you repair.
There are no specific codes for this - if you do transcatheter embolization you would code for catheterization (i.e. 36011, 36012), embolization (37204, 75894), follow-up (75898).
