How you code scalenectomy?

Scalenectomy, the surgical removal of scalene muscles, is typically coded using the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 21740, which refers to "resection of scalene muscle." When coding for this procedure, it's important to include any additional relevant codes for anesthesia and any associated procedures or complications. Always ensure documentation supports the selected code, and check for any updates or changes in coding guidelines.
