Question:

How many times can I report 37204 when treating coiling of collaterals(thyrocervical, two separate small branches, the right internal mammary and left internal mammary). Patient is 3yrs of age status-post Norwood with Sano procedure in the newborn period. In June of the same year had bidirectional Glenn with pulmonary arterioplasty. He returns today for pre-Glenn hemodynamics and likely coiling of collaterals. A diagnostic right/left retrograde heart cath with pulmonary angiography was done prior to coiling. Thank you.
