Can anyone help with a CPT code for sclerotherapy of a hemangioma in the forearm?
Thanks!

I think an unlisted (37799) is the best way to go with this.

What about CPT code 17106?

17106 sounds like a laser treatment, sclerotherapy is an injection.

You're right. I didn't look close enough at the definition of destruction for this specific code. I just hate to go with an unlisted code...
thanks

I know, I don't like unlisted either.
