75710 with 36147
Date: Sep 9, 2010
Question:
Hello Dr. Z, I have a consistent issue with my docs they continuously code 36147 and 75710 together stating in their OP notes that an additional "runoff" or "reflux" arteriogram was performed. I continuously crossoff the 75710 and only bill the 36147 feeling the "runoff" or "reflux" arteriograms are included in the all neccessary imaging mentioned in he code description of code 36147. In what instance would a 75710 be billed in addition to 36147?
