Fibrin Glue/Evicel Injection

Date: Oct 25, 2021

Question:

Is there a code for a fibrin glue injection into a fistula? Report summary as follows: "Patient with a known fistula to the rectum. Contrast is injected through the presacral abscess drainage catheter. Given the drainage output color, I suspect the fistula continues to communicate with the rectum and therefore fibrin glue is injected."
