Additional Selective Venogram

Date: Feb 1, 2018

Question:

In the "Case of the Month" for December, you state that no code should be reported for the imaging of the left ovarian vein done after the left renal venogram. But your previous advice has been to use code 76496 for additional selective venograms in the same family (renal, pelvic, and internal iliac branch veins). Why is code 76496 not appropriate in this instance?
