For the post op studies, use same code as pre-op along with V67.09 (f/u
exam).

For those of you who are expert at the venous studies pre and post
ablation procedures, what ICD-9 code do you use for the post procedure
follow-up study? Our surgeon usually uses 454.8 for the pre procedure
study; is it correct to use the same code after? Thanks! NV
