Can some one help me out with this,

If during a AAA procedure, angioplasty of superficial femoral artery is also performed(for marked stenosis), through a seperate access, can we code
this as a seperate procedure or is this an inclusive procedure(treatment zone)

Thanks,
Prabha.

It is outside the stent graft area, so I would bill for it.
