Question:

Hi Dr Z, My doctor treated a very large right temporal lobe AVM. He selected and treated 2 separate vessels(supraclinoid and middle meningeal arteries)which supply the AVM. He wants to code for both arteries coiled – but since both vessels supply the same AVM – I was thinking it would be considered one surgical sight and he should only charge 61624,75894,75898 one time. Thanks for your help!
