four compartment fasciotomy -

27602

Is this the correct cpt for this procedure? There was a visit performed prior to this which is what prompted the decision for surgery.

Patient was brought to operating room. A longitudinal incision was made medially and laterally. Medially, the medial and superficial compartments were incised and relaxed laterally the anterior and deep compartment.
 
Sounds like a component seperation, CPT 15734 which is done left, right, or bilateral. I would ask your doctor if this is a component seperation.
