Wiki fistulogram

[TashaBenn]

needing help to decide on codes 36147 or 75791 which one is the best to use for the fistulogram and can you charge for a repeat , I am new at coding interventional and could use some assistance. thank you

 

[CMORSE]

Use 75791 only if radiological evaluation is performed through an already existing access into the shunt or from an access that isn't a puncture of the shunt.
Use 36147 for radiological evaluation with needle/cath introduction, AV dialysis shunt, complete procedure.

Hope this helps!
