75774

Date: Sep 2, 2011

Question:

Dr Z, I would like to clarify the use of 75774.MD does arteriogram of the leg he describes the 75710 occluded proximal SFA stent noted all the way down to popliteal. Then he places catheter in SFA and describes as arteriogram shows occlusion of the SFA completely and SFA stent. I don't feel this should be coded as a 75774 because he just repeats what he saw with the 75710, am I right or wrong? Thank you,
