My doctor did a cerebral angiogram - the hospital has coded one way and I have coded another way - I want to see what someone on her says as I don't understand how the hospital got there code
1. Right transfemoral cerebrall angio, selective left common carotid artery
2. Selective left internal carotid artery
3. Selective right common carotid artery
4. Selective right internal carotid artery
5. Selective left vetebral artery
6. Supraselective catherization injection of MCA vessels.
The hospital has coded
36217-RT
36217-LT
36216-LT
I have coded
36217-RT
36216-LT
36216-LT
If you agree with the hospital could you try to explain to me where they got the 36217-LT - they did try to explain to be but I did not understand.
Thanks in advance
