JUST LIMA INJECTION
Date: Dec 29, 2021
Question:
Had a patient for a cath with grafts and was going to discuss the case with other cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeons to determine re-do CABG or do multi-vessel PCI. The patient was brought back the next day and all wanted a better image of the LIMA graft. What do you suggest I charge for this? I know there is a LIMA charge in interventional radiology, but I believe it's not to a graft. I didn't know if there was anything I could charge for this.
