Hello Coders:

I NEED ASSISTANCE ON THESE NEW CODES. HERE IS MY QUESTION- ONE CATHETER/NEEDLE IS INSERTED IN THE VENOUS END TO SHOOT DYE INTO THE FISTULA AND THEN A SECOND NEEDLE/CATHETER IS INSERTED IN THE ARTERIAL END TO SHOT DYE BACK INTO THE FISTULA. WHAT IS THE CORRECT CODES(S).

THANK YOU.
 
You are to use the 36148 for additional access for therapeutic intervention only ie: PTA/stent. Not to be used for additional radiological evaluation.

Hope this helps !:eek:
