Cardio-Vascular Codes
What is the CPT® code to bill for a vascular surgeon that did a catheterization for a venous angioplasty and a venogram in 2014? Doctor did an Ileo Femoral Thrombectomy venous(34421), an Ileo Femoral Venogram, and Open Tech Angioplasty of the Iliac Vein (35460)with stenting an iliac venogram, he also did a Creation of Femorofemoral A-V Fistula with 4-6MM Gortex Graft (36830)then a completion of the AV Fistulogram(36147 & 75791). We think that the catheterization is already included with these codes Is it? Or is there a seperate CPT® code to bill for this catheterization,is it 36005?
