does anyone know the cpt code for "Evacuation of mediastinal hematoma"?
I have been using cpt 21632 but not sure if that's the best choice.

Thanks!
 
Evacuation of Mediastinal Hematoma

So you are for sure not using the correct CPT Code 21632 is Radical Resection of Sternum with Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy.

With out reading an OP Report I really can't tell you for sure, but take a look at 10140 was it by chance an Incision and Drainage of Hematoma?? Was it superficial?

It is hard to tell you with out read the OP Report.
