Y-90

Date: Jul 11, 2019

Question:

I have a Y-90 that was delivered in segment 2 and 3 of the left hepatic artery. Billing is requesting 36247 and 36248 removed because "embolization states it includes all 'mapping' and it appeared from the notes that they were finding their way to the site to insert the brachytherapy.” Can you please advise?
