I have an encounter that was done and getting help one coder says 37244 and 36246. Another is saying 36253 and 37244. While there is no CCI edit, would these be billable together since guidelines states to code based off of why the px was indicated which would make it one or the other since one is a cath and one is a tx for embolism.
 
The embolization is usually done after some type of imaging is done, as a CTA of the renals. If there isn't documentation of any imaging, then I would code 37244 and 36253. If there is imaging, then I would code 37244 and 36246.
