TCAR/Silk Road w/ Cardiologist & CV surgeon

Date: Aug 28, 2020

Question:

If the CV surgeon performs the exposure/close, and the cardiologist performs the remainder of the procedure for carotid stent, would 37215 for cardiologist and 37215-80 for surgeon be appropriate if documentation supports? SVS recommended this, and I believe Silk Road did as well. I would very much appreciate your opinion too please.
