Surgical Exploration of a Neck Artery

Virginia rates for HCPCS 35701

An artery in the neck is exposed through an incision and inspected directly, usually after an injury or when damage to the vessel is suspected. The vessel turns out not to need repair, so the wound is closed once the surgeon has confirmed it is sound. It covers the exploration itself rather than any reconstruction.
