Ask Dr. Z

Would I use code 75625 for this procedure? I understand if just the distal abdominal was performed I would not use code 75630. I am not sure when to use code 75625 vs. 75630. Can you tell me how to distinguish the difference?

Right lower extremity angiography with run-off to the foot was then performed with hand injection of dye. A 5 French Omniflush catheter was advanced to the distal abdominal aorta, and abdominal aortography with iliofemoral run-off was then performed with hand injection of dye. The catheter was then advanced over a Glidewire to the left common femoral artery using standard crossover technique, and left lower extremity angiography was performed with run-off to the foot with hand injection of dye.
