Question:

Dr Z, what is the appropriate CPT code for mobilization or superficilization of an AV fistula for dialysis. The surgeon brings the pt to the OR and elevates or brings the fistula closer to the skin surface for better access. They do not do anything to the fistula itself. I've been using 37799. Thank you JM
