Ask Dr. Z

"Catheter was placed in right common femoral and imaged saved. Angiography was performed, which confirmed placement in the CF. A catheter was directed into the aorta to the level of the renal arteries, and angiography of the aorta was performed. The catheter was manipulated down to the level of the aortic bifurcation, and an angiogram of the pelvis was performed. The catheter was manipulated to the left common and superficial femoral arteries, and angiography was performed. Selective catheterization of the anterior tibial artery was performed, followed by angiography with runoff to the foot." Results were given for aorta, renals, bilateral iliacs, hypogastric arteries, and all left leg arteries down AT, PT, peroneal, and TP trunk. I have been reporting codes 75716, 75625, and 75774 for the angiography portion, but is 75774 allowed in this situation?
