36002 can thrombin also be coded?

Date: Aug 31, 2022

Question:

In an OBL (place of service 11) when an injection for extremity pseudoaneurysm is performed (36002), can you also code for the thrombin used, or is it bundled into 36002? When I checked what is included in the Practice Expense for 36002, thrombin was not included. Also, is J3490 the correct code for thrombin?
