Direct Access Sclerotherapy AV Malformations

Date: Feb 19, 2014

Question:

Your February 2014 Q&A answer to the question on sclerotherapy for lymphatic malformation was not to use an unlisted code for this type of embolization in 2014. Would this also apply, for example, to direct access for sclerotherapy (i.e., facial AV malformation - 37799/37242)? Would I also report unlisted code 36299 for direct access if 37242 is to be used?
