I have a case where the doc performed a pressure measurement across the lesion before deciding to intervene... is this seperately billable?? if so what code?
A portion of the report reads...........
Selective left common femoral artery angiogram was performed to see the left common iliac artery and there was evidence of a lesion in the range of 50-60%. At this time I decided to perform pressure measurement across the lesion. There was evidence of 8mm pressure gradient. I decided to fix it so I could proceed with the case.
Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
