0505T crosswalk help

Date: Oct 4, 2023

Question:

Our vascular surgeons have started perform the Detour percutaneous femoral-popliteal bypass graft. There is not much information regarding the billing of this procedure. What would this procedure be comparable to? What CPT code(s) would be a comparable “crosswalk”? Additionally, I understand this is a carrier priced; however, what would be the best practice as far as post op visits? Should visits after fall within a global package like they do with an open bypass?
