35371

Date: Oct 27, 2011

Question:

Dr Z, I think I am correct but here is the question. Dr opens both the left and right common femoral arteries performs endarterectomies on both, then does endarterectomies of the left and right external iliac arteries. Then places a stent in both the left and right external iliac arteries because of documented stenosis. I think we can only bill for one endarterectomy on each side and one stent on each side, but which code 35351 or 35371? Thank you, Suzan
