Wiki 36215 denied for Invalid Dx

[Cuteyr]

Hi,

When providers advance their catheter to brachial artery(No diagnosis) to check the artery after examining the AV graft malfunctions, i code 36215.
But the insurance deny these cases for Dx inconsistencies.
Please advise..

Unfortunately, your post did not state the specific diagnosis code you are submitting along with the 36215. I am unsure of which region you are in, however this is the Novitas-Solutions LCD for 36215: http://www.novitas-solutions.com/LC...tate=Pennsylvania&_adf.ctrl-state=93kajb34m_4
Hope this helps
