Multiple procedure discounting lower extremity revascularization

Date: Jul 14, 2011

Question:

For the new revascularization codes, are there any multiple procedure payment reductions we should be aware of? Like if they do stent in 2 places or even a primary and 2 add on’s in the iliac or tib/peron territory, would the 2nd add-on payment be reduced or would they get full reimbursement?

Docs are asking and I really am not sure where to find this info!
