This guidance is used with very less procedure codes but very important one. Let’s learn which are the CPT codes are used with CPT code 77003. This differences between vascular and non-vascular procedures really helps in improving our skills in coding ICD and CPT codes.

For ultrasound guidance also we have separate codes for vascular and non-vascular percutaneous procedure. The imaging guidance CPT codes are different for vascular and non-vascular percutaneous procedures like CPT code 77003 is used for non-vascular exam like spinal procedure and 77001 for vascular procedure like central line placement. Percutaneous surgery procedure is mostly depending upon guidance like ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance. Guidance codes are important in Interventional radiology coding.
