Radiofrequency ablation procedure - Amy K


Posted: Apr 11, 2013

I can never understand if the doctors are saying C3-C4-C5 or is it C3, C4 AND C5.  To me it sounds like they are saying C3-C4-C5 (without the word "and). 

Does anyone know how this is supposed to be typed?

Thank you,

 

Amy :) 

I would type "C3 through C5" (but, that's me) nm - Snow Bunny (the original)

Thank you to Snow Bunny! But even if they dictate it saying "C3C4C5", just like that?

I really appreciate your reply. This is my first time using this website - proved to be very helpful my first time around indeed :)

no that is wrong - research

I have several different doctors in different states who do radiofrequency ablations. You need to list them as
C3, C4, C5. They are simply dropping the word "and."

It is C3, C4, and C5 radiofrequency ablation of the medial branch nerves.
