Wiki Re-exploration of groin incision

[pfilson]

Hello,
Any advice is greatly appreciated in helping us with this question.
Is re-exploration of groin incision, not followed by surgical repair, less than one month post femoral bypass billable? We looked at CPT 35703, but this is for exploration more than one month post procedure.
The patient also had pulse lavage-97597, wound vac-97605 and evacuation of hematoma - 10140.
Thank you,
Pam

If they were doing a lavage, wound vac and evacuation of hematoma, you could look at 10180 or 35860.
