34705,37242 with 34709

Date: Feb 8, 2024

Question:

Our Vascular providers whenever they do abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with 34705 and coil embolization of internal iliac artery they also place an extension graft to the external iliac artery to cover internal iliac artery origin in that side. Do we bill 34709 for this extension into external iliac artery to cover internal iliac origin along with 34705, 37242, and catheter placement?
