Surgeons office bill for injectable?

I work for a Vascular Surgeon and he uses an injectable for varicose vein treatment. Are there codes to bill on a CMS1500 for this solution? He uses Polidocanol 5%. Thanks for your help. Nancy O.

Hi, yes, we bill for 36470 or 36471 however, recently we received a newsletter that indicated that a sclerotherapy injectable solution could be billed for in addition to the above codes.

Sorry, you are looking for the HCPCS code for Polidocanol 5%. I would try S2202. Some insurance carriers may pay it separate, some may bundle it.
Hope that helps a little better!
