Hello I was wondering if I could bill 36902 with a E/M hospital consult code on the same day? Thanks in advance!
 
If the consult was only done to confirm the need for the cath/angioplasty, then I would say it bundles into the procedure and is not separately reportable. If the provider manages anything unrelated to the procedure, then the consult should be billable with a modifier 25. Refer to page 7 of Medicare's global surgery booklet using the following link:
