Our providers are performing four or five ablations that are typically performed at 2-3 minutes each to the intercostal neurovascular bundle at the thoracotomy incision site. This is performed as an open procedure or through a smaller incision and a trocar placed. Our understanding is the code for cryoablation/cryoanalgesia is billed with CPT code 64999. Our question is whether or not it may be appropriate to code cryoablation/cryoanalgesia in addition to the primary procedure.To view the Official AMA answer and 1000s more like this:
