Can I bill these cath placements together or will they be bundled with 36247

36200
36140
36247

I assume that I can only bill the 36247 because this is the highest order entry.

I also want to bill the

35474-74
75962-26

The 35474 was unsuccessful so I added the modifier 74 but I still can bill for the imaging I assume?

I also want to bill

75625-26
75716-26

So all in all I want to bill

36247
35474-74
75962-26
75625-26
75716-26

Can I bill these codes togther?

I am trying to learn, this is so complicated. I am just creating scenarios for example, all the help is appreciated.
 
Assuming the diagnostic angiography was necessary before the interventional portion, it can all be billed together, but 75716-26 will also need a modifier -59 in order to bill at the same time as 75962-26.

Also, if you are coding for the physician professional services, modifier -74 would not be appropriate. Modifier -53 would be used instead, but it also depends on what you mean by "unsuccessful".
 
75630 is used when all imaging is done from a single catheter position or when limited imaging of the lower vessels is done.

75625 + 75716 is used when complete studies of the abdominal aorta and of the lower extremities are done, necessitating repositioning of the catheter.
