Hey y'all,
I have 2 cases where Medicare is denying 37252 saying there is no valid primary code. One primary code is 36245 and the other is 36252. Both are primary procedure of placing the cath in the leg and the renal artery however Medicare is denying the IVUS because they are saying there isn't a valid primary code.
Has anyone else had trouble with this? If these aren't primary codes, what would exactly be a primary code for an IVUS done during a cath of the legs and renal?
Thanks for any help!
Trish
