Ask Dr. Z

Dr Z or Dr Dunn: Our interventional Dr's routinely state that they are bringing the cath to the level of the renals and injecting, I get imaging results ususally of the renals, aorta and the iliacs. They then go contralateral and do selective imaging of the extremity and then do a pull back to site of puncture and preform imaging of that leg as well. Is 75625 & 75716 approriate on this one cath position at the level of the renals or is 75630 & 75716 the more appropriate code combination. This is all for a base study and no medical indication is given for further exam after base study. Thanks for your guidance in advance.
