IVUS Femoral and Popliteal Arteries

Date: Oct 28, 2020

Question:

I need clarification on billing IVUS when performed in the femoral and popliteal arteries. Would this still be considered one artery, or would you be able to bill separately? For interventions we were told these arteries are considered one for coding purposes, but I am finding conflicting information and need to confirm.
