Roadmapping a Vertebral

Date: Aug 22, 2014

Question:

Could you please let me know if I need to report code 36226 if the physician states, "Right vertebral artery, roadmap images. Roadmap images of the right vertebral artery were obtained, showing normal caliber and contour of the right vertebral artery." The right vertebral was listed as one of the vessels selected during cerebral angiogram. Please let me know if you need additional information.
