Question:
Hi Dr.Z, I have a question: is this statement qualifies for use of 75898: "Successful TACE of the right lobe hepatoma." CPT Lay Description of this follow-up study states: "... the radiologist interprets the status of the blood vessel and the effectiveness of treatment rendered." Is status of the vessel should be reported or is it enough to document "Successful TACE" Thank you. EE
