Wiki Need a quick answer about bilateral spinal interventions

[chembree]

I have a report that says bilateral t-9 and t10 intercostal selective catheterization and arteriograms were performed. I take this to mean I can bill the cath and S&I codes twice... once for each side... is this correct?

Assuming the documentation is there, you should actually have 8 codes:
36215 x4 (L/R T9, L/R T10)
75705 x4 (L/R T9, L/R T10)

Thanks for the quick responce- This is how I billed this charge but I was second guessing myself.
