And here’s a bonus coding Q & A before the close of year:

Coding Question: Someone is trying to get me to add 93544 to 75625 when abdominal AO is done in the setting of a LHC. They state it is the injection code for the 75625, the S&I portion. I stated 93544 is not used w/ 75625. Correct or incorrect?  

Dr. Z’s Answer: You cannot code for both 93544 and 75625 when the only procedure performed is a complete abdominal aortogram. The 75625 includes the injection. 93544 refers to the injection procedure for an aortogram of the ascending aorta(by medical necessity) to evaluate for Aortic insufficiency, ascending aortic aneurysm, search for vein grafts, etc, and has nothing to do with the abdominal aorta. So again, I would not bill codes together unless separate and complete studies of both areas are evaluated at the time of a cardiac cath.
