Stab Phelebectomy
Stab Phlebectomy 12 incisions, right leg
Stab Phlebectomy 1 incision, left leg
Stab Phlebectomy 1 incision, left leg
DX: I83.893
Coded As:
37765 -RT
37799 -LT
OR
37765 -50 ?
Another example:
Stab Phlebectomy 8 incisions, right leg
Stab Plebectomy 8 incisions, left leg
DX: I83.893
37799 does not allow a modifier 50, so again, add the incisions together or keep them separated?
