IVR- Part 4

Initial selective angiography of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) only is coded with 75774.

Selective arteriography of the IMA followed by both celiac and SMA is reported by

Selective arteriography of the IMA followed by the celiac, SMA, and replaced right hepatic off the SMA is reported by

Selective arteriography of the celiac followed by selective superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is reported by

Selective arteriography of the IMA followed by the celiac and common hepatic is reported by

Selective diagnostic angiography of IMA, SMA, right colic followed by embolization of right colic for hemorrhage and follow-up angiography is reported by

Selective arteriography of the IMA followed by both celiac and replaced right hepatic off the SMA is reported by

Selective diagnostic celiac, gastroduodenal, right hepatic, and left hepatic arteriograms are performed to evaluate hepatic tumor vascularity. The gastroduodenal artery is embolized to limit non-target spread of Y-90, and two branches of the left hepatic artery are embolized with Y-90 microspheres. Follow-up angiography is performed at the common hepatic artery.

Hepatic artery chemoembolization of liver. Abdominal aortography, selective celiac arteriogram, additional selective catheterization and diagnostic imaging of proper hepatic artery, right hepatic and left hepatic arteries. Embolization of two separate branches of the left hepatic artery. Follow-up angiograms of these two branches as well as proper hepatic artery.

Selective arteriography of the celiac and splenic is reported by

Selective catheterization of the right hepatic artery with subsequent embolization with Y-90 microspheres. Follow-up angiography is performed at the common hepatic artery.

An example of modifier ___ would be indication of a distinct diagnostic procedure performed on the same day as an intervention performed on the same date of service.

Modifier ___ is used to indicate a procedure should be reported separately with another procedure that it would typically be bundled into because it was performed on a separate site. a. -22

Imaging (RS&I) codes include all of the following except

Oblique imaging or re-filming of inadequate injections from same catheter position is an example of ___________ coding.

Imaging guidance is reported one time per ___________.

Both catheter placement codes and RS&I codes are specific to the vessel being imaged.

Assign 75774 only when performing additional selective imaging after the basic study.

Diagnostic angiography is included in embolization codes 37241-37244.

The first selective angiography in a visceral vascular family is coded with ______ when a visceral artery is selectively catheterized.
