Nose Embolization

Date: Aug 13, 2014

Question:

We often bill for multiple embolizations in a single AVM procedure (embolizing multiple arteries). For external carotid embolization, such as particle embolization for epistaxis, does the same apply? Routinely we inject particles into the IMAX artery on each side. Can we bill multiple (two) extracranial embolization codes for those cases?
