Billing for Lesion Intervention Crossing Territories

Billing for Lesion Intervention Crossing Territories

August 25, 2022

Question:
Our vascular surgeon documented a single intervention for a lesion that crosses the margin between the fem/pop and tibial/peritoneal territories. Should we bill one code or one for each territory?

Answer:
You would bill one code since a single intervention was performed, even though it crossed into another territory.
