Need help with deep inguinal sentinal node bx with intraoperative mapping

Good morning Forum!! I am working on a report for Deep subfascial sentinel node biopsies identified by intraoperative mapping. One node with an update of 239 and the other with an uptake of 249 CPS. The surgeon is working near the Saphenous vein. The mapping code 38900 does not include a primary procedure remotely related to deep inguinal nodes? How would you all code this to include the deep dissection and the mapping?? I understand that there is a Part B News article from January 2009 and have seen an excerpt from that article but still am baffled.

Thank you!!

Billing Moderate & Deep Sedation

So, with moderate sedation being separately billable and by the surgeon. Is it appropriate to bill Moderate & Deep sedation at the same time. An Example is the billing sheet has a moderate sedation from 1212-1240 and then deep sedation from 1240-1325. Most of these are for Autistic patients or patients with other behavioral disabilities requiring sedation for MRI’s, CT’s, ABR, etc.

Or would this be the same as an anesthesia case that goes from MAC to General??

Thanks

I need help finding a comparsion code for the work value. Please any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
