Question:

I noticed in your 2014 Interventional Radiology Coding Reference, page 261, coding instructions #8, it says, "Selective catheter placement and imaging are separately billable."  The cervicocerbral angiography codes include the catheter placement, so the catheter placement would not be reported, correct?
