Heart cath with selective renal angio

Date: Aug 29, 2018

Question:

I have looked and can't find an answer to this question on your site. If our doctor does a left heart cath and then goes down and selectively cath's the renals (and he had medical necessity to do so), can you bill both 93458 and 36251/36252? We weren't sure you if should bill two cath placements.
