Embolization of posterior neck arteriovenous fistula
Date: Nov 18, 2021
Question:
Physician catheterized the right subclavian, thyrocervical, costocervical, and verterbral arteries. He also did direct access venogram of neck. He used coils to embolize the vertebral artery feeders. This was a planned procedure. We reported codes 61624, 36217, 36218 x2, 75894, and 75898. Should we code the direct access of neck (36000) and 75774 x2, or would this be included in the 61624?
