Wiki nerve exploration ?

[scooter1]

I am hoping for some suggestions. Surgery has not been done, however, am trying
to get precert. Doctor states diagnosis as radial sensory nerve neuritis of the left
index finger. He is proposing to do a nerve exploration. How do I code the exploration? I have not come across this before and have not been
able to find anything in the CPT. Any suggestions ?

I would pre-cert 64702. Hope this helps
