Hello All...

I need some help. I am working on an IP bill. Facility billed 83.82 which is 'other plastic operations on muscle, tendon & fascia, graft of muscle of fascia.' Well op report states 'soleus rotational muscle flap for coverage of right lower extremity middle third defect.' Does this procedure code look right?

Can anyone provide guidance on the best route to take when coding flap procedures? I see quite a few now and I never know how to get started or if I am on the right path.

Thanks!
