The CPT code 34710 for delayed placement of distal or proximal extension prosthesis does not include arterial access and closure and CPT states for open artery exposure, use 34714-34716, 34812, 34820, 34833, or 34834 in addition to 34701-34708 or 34710, when applicable. For percutaneous arterial closure, use 34713 in addition to 34701-34708 or 34710, when applicable. The problem I am encountering is that all the codes stated do not list 34710 as a primary code and it is resulting in denial of the open femoral access.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? How are you solving it?

Thanks, for any help and/ or input.
