Endovascular AAA repair

Can we bill 34812 open femoral artery exposure along with endovascular AAA repair 34804 as the guidelines states that open femoral artery exposure is included in endovascular AAA repair?

re: Endovascular AAA repair

Artery exposure: To report the open exposure of the artery use codes 34812, 34820, 34833, or 34834 dependent upon the artery used.
When reporting surgical exposure of the artery by the same physician who performed the primary endovascular aortic aneurysm repair, use the code specific to the artery (e.g., femoral: 34812, iliac: 34820) and append the -51 modifier (multiple procedures).

re: Endovascular AAA repair

Hi, Thanks for the reply. My question is since the guideline in the CPT® book states "Codes 34800-34826 represent a family of component procedures to report placement of an endovascular graft for AAA repair. These codes describe open femoral or iliac artery exposure, device manipulation and deployment and closure of the arteriotomy sites." I am now confused whether the code 34812 is inclusive to endovascular graft coding as the graft can be deployed only when arterial cutdown is done. Thanks for your help!!!
