Question:
When the doctor administers Varithena into the greater saphenous vein varicosity and then into multiple adjacent varicosities using ultrasound guidance, would code 36466 (multiple veins) or 36465 (single veins) be used? Does the documentation need to state that multiple truncal veins were infused with Varithena to bill 36466 (multiple veins)?
