Hi coders,
Can someone help me here, please? I feel pretty lost on these. I don't understand the difference bewteen 34802 (one docking limb) and 34803 (two docking limbs) - how can I tell if it has one or two docking limbs? My physicians do not normally say, "Talent AAA" graft was used. I've read where the Talent AAA has two docking limbs.
Also, I'm unsure when to bill 34825/34826 because I thought when the physician spoke of 'extensions' that referred to those codes but in doing some research it depend on 'limbs' or 'extensions?' Can someone please clarify?
My physicians are starting to do a lot of these and I want to really understand them so I do not bill incorrectly. Any guidance, websites or other information is GREATLY and TRULY appreciated. My eyes are crossing here. LOL
Thanks!
