What is the appropriate way to bill in EVAR repairs in which a general surgeon performs the arterial exposure and then an interventional radiologist places the endograft? The general surgeon is only involved in the artery exposure and repair, they do not assist or participate in the placement of the endograft prosthesis.
34812 is an add-on code. You can't bill just an add-on code to the general surgeon can you? Or is this considered a co-surgery because the general surgeon does the exposure and the IR provider places the graft? Modifier -62 on the 34705?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
