This is a hypothetical scenario. I am trying to better understand the new LE codes and what is included.
If an angioplasty was done in the fem-pop territory (37224), then catheter advanced to the posterior tibial and thrombectomy done (37184 or 37186), would the additionally selective catheter placement (36247) be additionally reported since it was more selective than the fem-pop angioplasty? Or, would 36247 not be billable at all on the same side as 37224 since it is in the same vascular family?
