I am having great difficulty finding the correct DX code for the procedures listed above. The Physician is doing a Intravascular U/S of inferior vena cava; bilateral common iliac vein; bilateral external iliac veins and bilateral common femoral veins. Also performed stent insertion, left common iliac vein; wall stent, stent insertion; left external iliac vein - wall stent; stent insertion; left common iliac vein - wall stent. also stent insertion right common iliac vein, wall stent; stent insertion right external iliac vein, wall stent and stent insertion right common femoral vein, wall stent.
Findings: left common iliact stenosis; left external iliac vein stenosis; left common femoral vein stenosis; right common iliac vein stenosis; right external iliac vein stenosis; and right common femoral vein stenosis. Pre-px DX: chronic venous hypertension w/inflammation and leg swelling.
I cannot find any compatible codes for Medicare that cover the veins.

All 76xxx codes have modifier -26 attached.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
