Four new vascular embolization codes debuted in January, and the latest CPT® Assistant
has a must-read article for anyone who performs these services. You’ll
benefit from five separate examples that will help you identify and
count surgical fields. The article also reveals at-a-glance lists of
which services are included and which services you may report
separately. A bonus Q&A section addresses confusing scenarios, such
as how to code when there are multiple indications for embolization or
when stent placement is performed at the same session.
The newest CPT® Assistant also has you covered whether you need more information on using complex chronic care E/M codes or you’re searching for clues on 2014’s radiation oncology changes.
If you want advice targeted at overcoming common coding hurdles, you’ll find what you need in the CPT® Assistant FAQs. Search for these codes and keywords on Code Connect:
