Date: Dec 13, 2018
Question:
When a patient has their initial diagnostic shunt study with Tc-99m MAA, are you able to bill codes 78580, 78803, 78205, and 77331 at this time? Would you be able to code any of these when they have the Y-90 embolization at the following visit, or would they then be included?
