Hello all....
I was wondering if anyone might have some insight for me?
I code for a radiological group and just came across a report for a Hepatic Artery Chemo-embolization. Patient previously had this done in 2007. Patient does have mets to the liver.
My question is, is there not a more appropriate code than 37204? I guess I am extremely surprised that there is not a more specific code for this. It just seemed to me that with all the different chemo therapies listed, that this would be one with a code specific to this type of therapy.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you
Heidi
