35583, 35682

Date: Apr 4, 2012

Question:

Hello... not sure how to code for a left insitu fem-pop bypass with harvested cephalic vein (because of insufficient length of left saphenous vein). Would this be coded 35583 and 35682 or would 35556, 35682 be more appropriate? Would 35500 be appropriate to use for the cephalic vein harvest? Thank you, Lara
