37214, 37213, 37184

Date: Jan 31, 2013

Question:

Good afternoon to all, Dr Z, Dr Dunn, Regarding the new thrombolysis codes 37211, 37212, 37213 and 37214; edits are in place with 37184, I'm going to assume mechanical lysis is included and the edit would be for a separate site i.e. opposite leg. Would this be a correct assumption? Also same procedure sequence 37213 and 37214 same DOS, would you only code the 37213 as opposed to 37214? Thanks for all your help. jb
