36247-50 for UFE Procedure

Date: Aug 26, 2014

Question:

I'm hoping you might clarify something for me. With the new UFE procedure code, code 36247-50 is being recommended when performed bilaterally. I can understand the contralateral uterine artery being a third order, but the ipsilateral uterine artery appears to be second order (common femoral puncture - 36140, internal iliac - 36245, uterine artery - 36246). Am I thinking completely wrong?
