Surgeon performed Right Femoral-Popliteal bypass graft using cryopreserved vein.
He thinks this would be coded as 35656 (other than vein)
I was thinking it could still be coded as 35556 (vein), even though it was not harvested from the patient being treated. It is still a vein.
Can anyone offer advice?
