My provider uses a pigtail catheter - used to get up and over the bifurcation temporary, to place heavy wire for a long straight or Bernstein catheter to the select arteries of lower leg. The pigtail is removed and not working catheter. Would this pigtail be coded and considered non-selective since a catheter was eventually placed in the SFA
Provider is billed 36246 and 36247 and getting and EDIT. I believe that only one CPT 36247 should be used since catheter is at the third order and non-selective is inclusive with selective if performed.
Am I thinking correctly on this
Thanks
