Date: Feb 21, 2012

Question:

Please do NOT include any actual patient medical records with your question. Hi, How would you code a R common carotid artery to left subclavian artery bypass with reimplantation of the left common carotid artery into the previously placed bypass graft? I am coding 35606 for the carotid-subclavian bypass, but I am not sure how to code the reimplantation portion of the procedure. Thanks for your help.
