76937 with AV fistula intervention

Date: Jan 8, 2019

Question:

I need clarification regarding when we can charge code 76937 with AV fistula intervention. In question is the term "failing". Would any intervention on the fistula imply that it is failing, or do we need documentation that states the fistula is "failing"?
