Hi all,

I have a physician that wants to bill the selective cath codes when they insert the cath into the femoral arteries during a cardiac cath. I understand this is bundled by NCCI and I have explained this. is there EVER a time when 93458 and say 36245 would be billable together? I guess I'm trying to ask what would the indication or purpose of overriding the edit be? Separate caths being used or doing an arterial study on the LE arteries during a cardiac cath for a separate vascular issue? I don't want to leave money on the table if there are valid reasons to use m59.

Thank you!


PS. if anyone knows or hears of an upcoming IR coding bootcamp or event that Stacey Buck may be hosting let me know! I can't seem to find her website.
