I have a patient who had a right subclavian arteriogram and stent placement from the right radial artery! Do I bill for extremity artery (36140) or catheter in artery- brachial (36120) and 75710 for extremity arteriogram? A different method of performing the intervention.

Thanks,
Jim Pawloski, CIRCC

tough call, I think I would code 36140 because it was not "direct" brachial access". I do think 75710 is appropriate.

HTH :)
