37201

Date: Apr 13, 2012

Question:

Dr Z or Dr Dunn: My question is around 37201 In the CIRCC study guide there is a notation on page 29 that this code is for a "continuous catheter-directed infusion of a thrombolytic agent." I do not have that directive in the actual code and can not find a CPT assitant on this. Can you give me other source documentation for this coding "rule". I have a patient whom recieved 10mg of TPA being injected at the level of ICA for an M1 occlusion.
