Wiki Tibial intervention

[hmorton@vasclin.com]

If PTA of the peroneal and posterior tibial is performed and a separate selection of the anterior tibial (w/ no intervention), should the AT be billed as 36247-59 or 36248? I received a denial for the 36247-59 as bundled, but the AT is considered a separate vessel. 36248 can only be billed w/ 36246 or 36247. HELP

Catheter selection is bundled in all vessels when a intervention is performed on that leg. Catheter selection is codable when there isn't an intervention performed.
