Intracranial treatment of vasopasm plus diagnostic imaging vertebrals
Date: Jan 15, 2021
Question:
If the provider performs prolonged administration of verapamil into one of the vertebrals (61650), and does diagnostic imaging and provides separate findings for the contralateral vertebral, are we able to code for both 61650 and diagnostic imaging for the contralateral side? Or does the 61650 bundle everything done in that territory (vertebro-basilar)?
