36010 and 36005

Date: Jan 5, 2018

Question:

When doing subclavian venoplasty, if upper extremity venography was performed and then the catheter was advanced to the IVC, can both codes 36005 and 36010 be reported? Or is code 36005 inclusive to 36010? Do we not code the injection, along with radiological supervision and interpretation code for extremity venography?
