Is it appropriate to code the S&I for bilateral cerebral carotids (75671) when only one side is injected but both hemispheres are visualized due to collateralization/overflow/reflux? (One specific exam I have states "intracranial circulation on the left collateralizes to the right hemisphere via a patent anterior communicating".) I know you don't need a selective cath placement to use the cerebral carotid codes, but I thought I had heard you can't code them from the reflux, but I can't seem to find that in writing anywhere.
Any help and/or where to find the answer to this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Barbara
