1 venous stent for 2 veins
Date: Dec 29, 2023
Question:
My provider is documenting that he placed a stent in common iliac vein, and placed a stent in external iliac vein. however he is only using 1 stent. Would this fall into "a single therapy"? Do I only bill 37238 since he used 1 stent? Or do I bill 37238,37239 since 2 different vessels were treated?
