Hello,

so this is the first time I'm using this forum and I am a new coder and biller so I was wondering if someone could help me with this coding
I have I 71.4 abdominal aortic aneurysm without rupture and then
34812 femoral artery dissection
36200 introduction of cath into aorta
37250 intravascular ultrasound
34825 extentions
75953 extentions

Really need help on this
 
Code 37250 has been deleted (1/1/16)

There hasn't been enough information provided regarding the procedure that was performed (Can you provide a procedure note/summary? Were there modifiers submitted? Who is the payer? I'm assuming you're working in a professional fee environment).

Usually when reporting for the placement of endovascular extensions, a code from 34800-34805 (S&I 75952-26) is performed and reported separately.

Judging by your diagnosis I71.4, for non-ruptured AAA, this was the likely problem being treated (?Unless staged extension placement?).

More context is needed.
