Hi,
I have open thrombectomy of the Inferior Vena Cava in the groin. There are two CPT codes which apply to the incision being in either the leg or abdomen. Since the groin is right in between, which one would you use? I don't have access to Dr. Z and google is not yielding any helpful information. The code could be either 34421 or 34401. Can someone that does IR shed some light? thanks in advance
