Treatment for erectile dysfunction

Date: Mar 7, 2019

Question:

When the procedure is ordered to treat ED, and from the femoral artery the catheter is selectively placed into the internal iliac to the pudendal and then finally into the penile artery where angioplasty is performed, should codes 37246 and 36247 be reported? Or should codes 37788 and 36247 be reported? Then how about atherosclerosis was the reason for the ED and it was treated with angioplasty... would the code then be 37220?
