Question: Can you bill 61635 and 61624 for the stent assisted coiling?
Diagnostic cerebral angiogram and stent-assisted coiling. Subsequently the stent was placed and unsheathed through the supraclinoid and ophthalmic segment of the ICA. DSA in AP and lateral views demonstrated optimal wall apposition. At that time the coil was introduced completely into the aneurysmal dome. Under new roadmapping a 5 x 15 hydroframe coil was introduced into the dome.
