February 2016 Q & A
Question: Vasospasm
Six vessel diagnostic cerebral exam performed. Decision made to treat vasospasm of RICA & LICA. Discussion is whether or not the catheter selections for the bilateral ECA vessel selections are still chargeable since the catheter selections of the RICA & LICA are bundled into 61650. I don't feel they are since they are add on codes to 36224, bilateral in this case.
