I am not a IR coder by vocation. I am auditing claims for services provided.
I am looking at a bill that has 36247 with 36245-59.
I looked online and it appears 36245 can not be there when 36247 is.
The procedure was an Transarterial chemoembolization of left hepatic lobe tumor. Here is what I have in the surgery notes.
The findings indicated: The left hepatic artery branch vessel selected.
Impression: Successful transarterial chemoemoblization from second order branch of a replaced left hepatic artery.
Before I send back the claim, can anyone tell me whether 36245-59 should be on the claim?
