Hi,
Could someone help me in coding the following procedure?
Procedure:Lower Abdominal wall seroma drainage and sclerotherapy
14-gauge angiocath needle was introduced .the sheath was left in place and the needle removed.approx. 20 ml of clear yellow fluid was aspirated.The seroma was aspirated to completion.
The seroma was then instilled with 30 ml of doxycycline and left in place for 1 hr.The doxycycline was aspirated and again the seroma was aspirated to completion.
Should we code this as
10160
76942
36470
998.13
or
10160
76942
998.13
or
any other codes
Thanks
