Wiki Microcatheterization of middle meningeal artery

[valelim]

What CPT would one use for microcatheterization of the middle meningeal artery performed during an embolization? My providers are wanting to use 36228. I'm not sure that's an appropriate choice.

36228 is for the diagnostic exam. Code for your catheter placement - 36217 probably anlong with the embolization code.
