Question:

Hi Dr. Z: In your Q&A database, I found a question dated 2/14/06 about coding for interventions of the dorsalis pedis. In your answer, you weren't sure whether or not the dorsalis pedis artery would be considered part of the tibial or a separate vessel. I haven't found anything about coding for interventions of the dorsalis pedis other than the above reference. Have you come across anything since this question was submitted from the AMA or SIR that addresses this?
