Can we bill for cath.placement when done for IVUS in specific arteries? In this case they did abd.aortogram w.run-off (from rt.fem entry) then placed cath in contralat.common iliac then IVUS cath.advanced to left ext.iliac and common iliac was measured. Can I bill 36246-LT for IVUS advance to left ext.iliac or only 36245-LT as that is where regular cath.was placed originally. Also--
36216-RT for rt.subclavian angio.and IVUS
75650 for arch study (prox.ascending aorta and aortogram)
75630 abd.aortogram w.run-off
37250 and 75945 (IVUS'd lt.common iliac)
37251 times 2 with 75946 times 2 (looks like they IVUS'd rt.common fem.-looking at findings along w.rt.int.iliac)
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
