I am in the process of learning to code for a Vascular Surgeon and I am getting mixed up on when I can and cannot bill for an angiogram when an angioplasty is performed.
I was given an op note to code for teaching purposes and I cannot understand why the 75710 was billable along with 37228. I thought RS&I was bundled with 37228:
We cannulated the left CFA with the wire entering the saphenous vein graft. Angiograms were performed through that. (Stenosis was found in the entire native posterior tibial artery) With these findings, the decision was made to proceed with any angioplasty. Angioplasty was performed of the entire posterior tibial artery through the proximal anastomosis with a 2mm angioplasty balloon.
I hope that I left enough information in the condensed op note for someone to explain why the 75710 is billable.
Any help is appreciated!!!! Thank you
