Do not use above diaphragm selective catheter placement codes 36215-36218 when selective diagnostic cervicocerebral angiography is performed (as catheter placements are bundled withcodes 36221-36228) unless the catheter placements are in vessels used to image the non-cervicocerebral vascular distribution (e.g., brachial artery for upper extremity imaging).
8. Do submit selective catheter placement codes 36215-36218 (as appropriate) for neurointerventional procedures not at the time of diagnostic studies. This excludes neurointerventional procedures that bundle ipsilateral catheter placement codes (0075T, 0076T, 37215, 37216, 61623,61630, 61635, 61640, 61641, and 61642).
In 2013, a new code set (36221-36228) describes cervicocerebral imaging procedures that are frequently performed during the same session. These codes describe diagnostic catheter-based angiography of the cervicocerebral vasculature and bundle selective catheter placements and supervision and interpretation. Previous S&I codes 75650, 75660, 75662, 75665, 75671, 75676, 75680, and 75685 have been deleted; however, selective catheter placements of the cervicocerebral arteries may still be utilized when describing neurointerventional procedures without diagnostic imaging.
Can someone please help explain this to me?
