CPT 37252 with 0338T or 0339T

Date: May 7, 2025

Question:

If an IVUS catheter is placed in a renal artery for measurements to determine what size Paradise ultrasound catheter to use for therapy, can the IVUS be charged/coded? There is no NCCI edit that CPT 37252 and 37253 cannot be coded with 0338T or 0339T. Re Cor said this is a grey area and could not advise whether to charge or not to charge for an IVUS. What is your recommendation?
