Question:

Can I bill EVAR with FEVAR if they are done at the same operative session? Usually these two are done as staged procedures, but in this case they were done concurrently. FEVAR includes proximal extensions, but I do not think that applies to axillary delivery of the thoracic endograft placed before FEVAR device. NCCI does not bundle the two, but I am hesitant to bill them together. Can it be done?
