My provider wants to submit 15733 for the named muscle flaps listed in the statement below. I know the semispinalis & splenius capitis are in the neck area but I am leaning more towards 15734 only because the description of 15733 states neck but list only the anterior muscles (buccinators, genioglossus, temporalis, masseter, sternocleidomastoid, levator scapulae) as examples. Would appreciate some opinions please!

"posterior cervical muscle flaps were therefore performed to allow for mobilization of the muscle, which were indeed tight and scarred laterally. This grouping of musculature comprised of the semispinalis capitis, and splenius capitis."

Thank you!!!!!
