Hello everyone:

My Dr. seen a patient who claims she has allergic reactions to the mesh used for hernia repair. He decide to take a piece of mesh and place it in her arm. He performed a 1.5 cm incision and place it in her forearm to see if she has a reaction to the biological mesh after a few days.
Can anyone help me with coding this? I cannot find anything. I was thinking of a unlisted procedure.
Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks!
 
At most it sounds similar to an Alergists test but given there was an incision I'm sure there's some code out there that fits.
