My physician recently did this operation and I have no clue how to bill it!
This procedure is billed as POS 11
Procedure:
1. Abdominal Aortogram
2. Selective Bilateral Renal Angiogram
3. Balloon Angioplasty and Stent placement of Right Renal Artery
4. Use of Arterial Closure Device
5. Supervisions of Conscious Sedation for 60 mins
Abdominal Aortogram: This revealed mild atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta with no evidence of aneurysm
Right Renal Artery Angiogram: This revealed 80% ostial/proximal lesion
Left Renal Artery Angiogram: This revealed patent left renal artery
Balloon angioplasty and stent placement of right renal artery: We obtained arterial access and inserted the 6 French sheath into right common femoral artery. We engaged right renal artery with LIMA catheter and crossed the lesion with Regalia wire. We then engage renal sheath and use V18 wire. We then performed balloon angioplasty to the left renal artery lesion. We then deployed express stent 6 x 18 mm. Final angiogram revealed excellent results. 80% lesion was reduced to 0%
I think I should bill
1. 75630
2. 36252
3. 37248 (This is the code I'm not sure about, because it doesn't mention a Stent )
4.
5. 99152 & 99153 x 3
Any help would be appreciated.
