As part of an interventional procedure, our radiologist performed an ultrasound-guided transhepatic access to the portal vein. After the procedure, the embolized the access tract with gel foam and coils. Can we report this as an embolization?
How would we code the following situation: An interventional cardiologist deploys a drug-eluting stent in the LAD and performs PTCA of the RCA?
Can we code education with 94799?
Do colony count restrictions apply for coverage on 87088?
When should 37236 not be reported?
Please advise if CPT® code 78452 should be coded with 78830. The technique states: A Lexiscan stress protocol was used. 12 mCi of Tc-99m Tetrofosmin was administered intravenously at rest and 43.2 mCi was administered intravenously at stress. Gated SPECT images were obtained and processed. CT images were obtained through the heart. LIMITATIONS: No prone images were obtained. The low-dose CT acquisition was performed only for attenuation correction/activity localization. There is no intravenous contrast, further limiting the CT component of the study.
Can you clarify the use of the procedure behind code 958303?
We have a policy that we should always perform an automated differential with CBC. Is this ok from a compliance standpoint?
Please help me understand when it’s appropriate or not to charge for post-processing 3D imaging.
