Question:
For PTA of an in-stent re-stenosis of the right common carotid near its origin, would I use codes 35475, 75962, and 36223 (findings were given on common, anterior, and middle cerebral arteries)? Or, would I use the unlisted px code 37799 with a -GZ modifier and 36223 for my catheter placement?
