Using 93971 and G0365

Date: Oct 1, 2019

Question:

Can we bill 93971 for upper extremity dialysis access mapping for Medicaid instead of using the G0365 vein mapping code? I am aware that we should use the G0365 for the initial mapping. Also, if a patient has an AVG or AVF creation and it has failed, can we bill the G0365 a second time for vein mapping?
