Could somone help me with the difference between 37765 and 37785
I'm new to this section and not sure how to decided between the two. The Dr op note reads: The patient was placed
in a prone position. The right leg was sterilized and prepped in usual
fashion. Using a total of 7 separate incisions, multiple phlebectomies
were performed of the veins. Once hemostasis was ensured, incision sites
were closed with 4-0 Monocryl, and a sterile dressing was applied. The
patient tolerated the procedure well. Also 37765 is for 10-20 incisions, this was 7 would it be 37799 or 37785.

Thank you,
Marie
