37215 distal embolic protection EPD

Date: Nov 25, 2010

Question:

Hi Dr. Z This is a general question about carotid stenting. Is there a code that you would use other than 37216 for carotid stenting with a proximal protection device ( Mo Ma)instead of a distal protection device?? I have seen this on a few reports and I am holding them trying to decide the best way to code them..? Thank you in advance for your help.
