Clarifying +G2211
My question is whether +G2211 is appropriate for vascular surgeons. Since the code has now been implemented, I’m wondering if it’s considered appropriate for those of us who manage long-term vascular patients over several years to use this add-on code until further guidance or changes occur.
Does a Figure-Eight Suture Qualify as Intermediate Repair?
I was told a figure eight suture is considered intermediate closure. Is this correct?
Automated Skin Cell Suspension Autograft Procedures
A provider at our facility has begun performing the new 2025 skin cell suspension autograft procedure. During this process, automated preparation of the autograft is performed, including enzymatic processing, disaggregation of skin cells, and filtration of harvested tissue. Currently, there is no specific CPT code that describes this work. Since we are advised to report an unlisted code for this service, what comparative CPT code would you recommend using to help determine appropriate reimbursement?
Wound Vac with CPT Code 15002
I was hoping someone could answer a question for me. My Revenue analyst is telling us to bill a 15002, instead of a 11042 for chronic wound care when we are also doing a wound vac. In my opinion 15002 should not be used we are not prepping for tissue transfer.
Therapeutic Epidural Injection
I’ve just taken on coding for pain management and could use some assistance. A patient came to our pain management clinic with chronic lower back pain. The physician performs a therapeutic epidural steroid injection at the L4-L5 interspace using fluoroscopic guidance. The physician personally performs and documents the fluoroscopic guidance. What is the correct CPT code(s) for this procedure?
Catheter with Angioplasty Procedure
If a third-order catheter is pulled back and enters the iliac, which is then treated with angioplasty, can you code that selective iliac catheterization in addition to the angioplasty?
