Art & Ven Embolization of a Large RT BKA stump AVM

Date: Aug 5, 2020

Question:

The physician gained access in the femoral vein and artery, did arterial and venous diagnostic angiograms of the stump, selected both the arterial and venous superior lateral geniculate arterial branch, and both the arterial and venous sides were embolized using coils and alcohol. I know it says you are only supposed to charge for one embolization code per site; however, I was wondering whether I should charge 37241 or 37242?
