Hi all,
I have a question on a vein procedure.
I have a new provider that is doing a common femoral vein access, injecting for venogram at the access site, then moving the catheter up to the IVC and doing IVUS.
He is billing both 36005(CFV) and 36010(IVC). Is this allowed for being separate territories, or would 36010 be the only billable service since that is the furthest advancement of the catheter?
In the past with the same scenario I have only billed 36010 since that is the highest level of cath placement, but now I am wondering if both are billable if they are considered separate territories.
There is a CCI edit for these codes but it can be unbundled with a 59.
Thanks
