One of the physicians I work with is getting ready to repair a popliteal vein aneurysm. We are trying to get this preapproved through the insurance and I am having trouble finding any codes for venous aneurysm repairs...
Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Depends on how you repair.
There are no specific codes for this - if you do transcatheter embolization you would code for catheterization (i.e. 36011, 36012), embolization (37204, 75894), follow-up (75898).
