Ask Dr. Z

If the angiograms necessary to complete the intervention are bundled, would their selective catheter codes be as well? For example, prior conventional angiograms done, and day of intervention they repeat to rule out which vessels to embolize or not to embolize. Would the angiogram selective catheter codes bundle (since their angiogram codes bundle) and then you only report the selective codes that apply to where an intervention was done? Like doing a six-vessel head (36224-50, 36226-50, 36227-50 repeated) to embolize a known aneurysm. Would you just code one 36217 for the interventional selective, or would you also code all the selective codes for the repeat bundled angiograms?
