If dr. states that the pt had abnormal ABI showing stenosis of the fem-pop on the report and does stenting to that area would you code for catheter placement? Wondering if the documentation of abnormal ABI's counts as a previous diagonstic study and rules out the catheter placement and angio.
Thanks
