Technique used? An open procedure takes you to code 24102 and 24006 (SP), but 24006 is integral to 24102 (if related to 24102). Code 24006 is a "separate procedure" code and only assigned when 24006 is the only code used or when it is unrelated to code 24102 (24006-59). If same site, only code 24102 is assigned.
