VenaSeal

Date: Sep 10, 2018

Question:

I don't see any coding information for coding VenaSeal (36482) in the same vein (great saphenous vein), but segmental treatment - meaning two separate accesses, but same vein. Would you report code 36482 one time, or would you add 36483 for the additional access even though it's the same vein?
