Endovascular placement of Iliac Artery Occlusion device

Date: Mar 15, 2018

Question:

In the 2018 Professional Edition of the CPT Codebook, it states that code 34808 can be billed with 34701, 34702, 34707, 34708, 34709, 34710, 34813, 34841, 38482, 34843, and 34844. However it doesn't say 34705 or 34706. With the old codes you could bill 34808 with the bifurcated grafts. Is this a typo? Or is it included in the treatment zone now? I checked NCCI and there are no edits for 34705 and 34808.
