Angiogram after CT for hemorrhage prior to embo

Date: Apr 7, 2020

Question:

When a CT is done that shows pelvic hemorrhage, but not the source, and the patient is sent to IR to have an embo but they do imaging to find the exact source, is this considered diagnostic and billable? Or would it be guiding shots since the hemorrhage was known?
