Is Cautery a root operation for debridement?
My doctor stated "The surrounding traumatically transected excessive and non-viable skin, muscle, and other subcutaneous soft tissues were also excised/debrided using the cautery, totaling more (much more) than 500 square cm". Is billing 11043 and 11046 (QTY 24) correct?
Bronchoscopy with Argon Plasma Cautery
Looking for some insight – I have a pulmonologist that did a bronchoscopy with endobronchial biopsy and the use of argon plasma cautery to debulk the tumor. I have looked at every article on Google that I can find and can’t seem to find a CPT code for the use of the argon plasma. However, I believe that the correct CPT code should be 31641 – Destruction of tumor any method.
Can ANYONE give me their thoughts or suggestions for this procedure.
Thank you all in advance.
