Carotid stent w/Distal Protection Device and embolization
Date: Apr 21, 2020
Question:
My provider treated a left carotid for stenosis. Once the provider had placed the stent (DPD) he performed balloon angioplasty within the stenotic portion of the stents. The angioplasty revealed wide patency of the distal common and proximal cervical left internal carotid artery without any residual stenosis. Can the office bill for 37215 and 61624 for the left carotid?
