Question:
We have a case were the vascular surgeon placed a TAA and AAA graft with iliac coil embolization and also placed a renal stent. Are we allowed to bill an open femoral exposure (34812) and/or a brachial exposure (34834)? Or are they considered bundled due to the other procedures done during the case?
