Question:
How would I code for bilateral adrenal gland venous sampling? May I report venography also?
Answer:
Venous sampling codes 36500 and 75893 are reported once per organ sampled. In this case, you would report 36500 x 2 and 75893 x 2. Catheterization and venography are included in these codes.
| 36500 | Venous catheterization for selective organ blood sampling |
| 75893 | Venous sampling through catheter, with or without angiography (e.g., for parathyroid hormone, renin), radiological supervision and interpretation |
