Question:

Hi Dr. Z, My question is regarding AVF aneurysm repair. Since 36834 has been deleted, is 36832 the correct code to use. However, if the vessel treated is not part of the AVF, then do we code those as aneurysm repair codes CPT 35001-35152? Please provide guidance on how to code AVF aneurym repairs correctly. Thank you.
