Summary -TheblogliststheICD-10codesandCPT codesforreportingAbdominalAorticAneurysm(AAA). Address,
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the stretching and enlargement of the aorta. One of the largest blood vessels, the aorta can cause chronic pain and severe internal bleeding if it enlarges or ruptures. Reports from Medscape.com (2019), suggest that abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture is the 13th leading cause of death in the United States, causing an estimated 15,000 deaths per year. Men above 65 years of age who have peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease are at the greatest risk of this medical condition. As vascular medical billing and coding is a challenging process, physicians can rely on an experienced medical billing and coding company to ensure accurate and timely claim submission Experts are knowledgeable about the ICD-10 codes and CPT codes for billing abdominal aortic aneurysm.

CPT Codes
• 34701 Endovascular repair of infrarenal aorta by deployment of an aorto-aortic tube endograft including pre-procedure sizing and device selection, all nonselective catheterization(s), all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, all endograft extension(s) placed in the aorta from the level of the renal arteries to the aortic bifurcation, and all angioplasty/stenting performed from the level of the renal arteries to the aortic bifurcation; for other than rupture (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer)

• 34704 for rupture including temporary aortic and/or iliac balloon occlusion, when performed (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, traumatic disruption)
• 34705 Endovascular repair of infrarenal aorta and/or iliac artery(ies) by deployment of an aorto-bi-iliac endograft including pre-procedure sizing and device selection, all nonselective catheterization(s), all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, all endograft extension(s) placed in the aorta from the level of the renal arteries to the iliac bifurcation, and all angioplasty/stenting performed from the level of the renal arteries to the iliac bifurcation; for other than rupture (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer)
• 34706 for rupture including temporary aortic and/or iliac balloon occlusion, when performed (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, traumatic disruption)
• 34707 Endovascular repair of iliac artery by deployment of an ilio-iliac tube endograft including pre procedure sizing and device selection, all nonselective catheterization(s), all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, and all endograft extension(s) proximally to the aortic bifurcation and distally to the iliac bifurcation, and treatment zone angioplasty/stenting, when performed, unilateral; for other than rupture (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous malformation)
• 34708 for rupture including temporary aortic and/or iliac balloon occlusion, when performed (eg, for aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous malformation, traumatic disruption)
