LE intervention performed in both legs with different access points

Date: Jan 23, 2020

Question:

If the surgeon places a stent in the right iliac via right common femoral access and then performs an atherectomy on the left popliteal via left popliteal access, can a separate catheter placement for the left popliteal be billed? Or would it be bundled with the popliteal intervention?
