36246 and 37228 Separate Access Sites

Date: Nov 20, 2014

Question:

When access is made in LCFA to REIA 36246 with 75710 of the Rt lower extremity. A second access is made in RCFA and angioplasty is done of the RATA 37228 from the second access site. Do we bill for the catheter placement from the first access (LCFA)? Since the procedure was done on same extremtiy as catheter placement but (sep access) I wasn't sure if billing catheter would be correct.
