93510 - The radial is a branch of the brachial artery so it would be correct to still bill 93510 since the code states "from the brachial artery, axillary artery, or femoral artery." I hope so anyway because that is how we bill it
Hope this helps!

This code (93510) is for a left heart cath, not merely access to the radial artery. I think what she may need is 36140, introduction of needle or intracatheter, extremity artery (not brachial). If a left heart cath is infact being performed, then 93510 is correct.
