It depends on which part of the arm he/she is working on, and if it is open or arthroscopic. Open look at 64721, arthroscopic 29848. that is if it is in the wrist, for carpal tunnel.

I am looking for an ICD9 code. Not CPT. Thank you.

I have used 354.2 Lesion of Ulnar nerve (cubital tunnel syndrome).

You know, if it is an injury, I would use 955.2. I wish there were more choices for this dx, but we are very limited. Wait until ICD-10!
