Arcuate artery intervention

Date: May 5, 2021

Question:

Is the arcuate artery a separate structure that you can bill for within the tibial/peroneal area? The doctors that I work for document atherectomy and/or angioplasty being performed in the arcuate artery. This is usually in addition to interventions also being performed in the dorsal pedal and plantar arteries.
