Wehave General & Orthopedic Surgeons who are performing a FAST Exams. This exam consist of using a sonogram to verify if the patient has internal bleeding in the ER to determine is surgery is require immediately. I need a code for this procedure.

Also, can someone tell what is a Graham Patch -- I do not know what it is OR how to code it.

I really need someone advice to help me out on these coding issuess!!!
 
I know it's a few years later now, but be sure to add 49905 for the graham patch itself, in addition to the 43840 (open procedure only).
