I rec'd a denial because 61650/61651 was performed as an outpatient procedure and the insurance company is stating this should only be performed as an inpatient service. The global period in CMS website list a zero for the procedures. How do I appeal this denial or can I?
Codes 61650 and 61651 describe infusion therapy for intracranial arteries other than those used for thrombolysis.
Code 61650 is the base code and describes the service for the initial vascular territory treated. If additional vascular territories are treated, the add-on code 61651 is reported for each additional territory treated
