Hi Everyone,
1st time posting here. I'm trying to code a pericardiectomy. The MD. is saying pericardiectomy phrenic to phrenic. Doesn't seem like either 33025 or 33031. For constrictive pericarditis. Anyone out there ever come accross this? any ideas?:confused:

MD is talking about the phrenic nerve there is one on each side of the pericardium. So I would ask MD to make sure, but I would think it would be 33030. Pericardiectomy complete since he went phrenic to phrenic.
