Question:

How do you code the following scenerio. The doctor tried to inject the right and left common iliac arteries for a bilateral runoff but he couldn't get access into the vessels. So he did a right brachial access and injected both right and left internal mammary arteries to visulize both right and left legs. I am not sure if what he wants to charge is correct. He wants to charge for injecting both RIMA (75756-RT) and LIMA (75756-LT) and bilat runoff (75716). I'm not sure if that is the correct thing to do. This sort of thing doesn't happen very often so I need some advice on this case. Thanks
