36252

Date: Nov 18, 2021

Question:

The CPT description of 36252 states selective catheter placement of renal arteries bilateral. The CPT description also states that 36252 includes "permanent recording of images". Does the mean that our doctors are required to take permanent images of the renal angiogram and document this in the patient's record and chart?
