Not used to doing these so I need help with CPT code for on-table angiogram.
Patient underwent femoral to popliteal bypass with in situ saphenous vein graft. Following that op reads: We then interrogated the pedal vessels for Doppler signals. I had difficulty indentifying good Dopple signals. I elected to perform a completion angiogram. Angiogram was performed through one of the side branches on the vein and showed no technical difficulty with the anastomosis with good flow distally into the foot. Hemostasis was assurred throughout. With hemostasis assured, the wounds were closed in layers with the deep layer of 2-0 Vicryl suture. The skin of the groin was closed with subcuticular 4-0 Monocryl.
Can I charge for the angiogram based on this report?
Thanks
