36252 bilateral cath placement renals

if stent was placed on same day then this is what i would bill
36251 unilateral renal angiography for the LT
37205 RT Initial vessel stent
75960 S&I

it doesn't look like stent was placed same day, so I would say 36253 w/ 36251...that's a tough one though.

although if it was stented the same day then 37205 w/ 36252 and 75960 since there aren't any NCCI edits for billing the diagnostic renal with the stent on the same DOS.

I agree. There is no indication that this was superselective. An interpretation of higher order vessels does not mean they were selected. It has to be documented as superselective.
