Bilateral Common Iliac Artery Intravascular Lithotripsy & Stent
Date: Jun 21, 2021
Question:
We performed the IVL and stent placement in both common iliac arteries. We coded C9765-50 and have received a denial by the payer. Have you come across this issue before, and would you suggest we use separate C9765-RT and C9765-LT?
