Are you ready to tackle one of the most complex areas of interventional radiology coding? This webinar will give you the tools you need to navigate the nuances of coding for embolization and occlusion procedures accurately and confidently. Join industry expert Stacie L. Buck as she breaks down real-world scenarios, explains critical clinical indications, and uncovers common coding pitfalls that can be costly to your practice or facility.

Using multiple coding scenarios, this session delivers practical guidance you can apply immediately. From selecting the correct CPT codes to understanding which components are bundled and when diagnostic angiography may be reported with embolization, you’ll leave equipped to code even the trickiest embolization cases correctly, protecting revenue and ensuring compliance every time.

Learning Objectives/Agenda

• Identify the appropriate CPT codes (37241–37244, 61624, 61626) for different types of embolization based on clinical indications.
• Distinguish between bundled and separately reportable components such as catheter placements, RS&I, and completion angiography for different types of embolization.
• Understand when diagnostic angiography may be reported with embolization codes.
• Accurately identify and define distinct operative fields to ensure correct coding.
• Analyze real-world coding scenarios to reinforce best practices and improve accuracy in everyday coding.

Why is this topic important?

Mastering embolization coding is essential because these high-dollar, high-complexity procedures are among the most error-prone in interventional radiology. Errors can result in significant revenue loss, compliance risk, or denials that drain resources and impact reimbursement.

Who would benefit from this topic?

• Medical Coders
• Coding Auditors
• Revenue Cycle Analysts
• Billing Specialist
• Coding Manager
