Cracking The IR Code: Tips For Mastering Embolization Coding
Correct CPT® coding for embolization procedures can be difficult due to the complexity of the coding rules. In this session, interventional radiology coding expert Stacie Buck will provide tips for deciphering documentation and break down all of the CPT® coding rules for the various embolization procedures, including TACE, SIRT, CARTO, BRTO, neuroembolization and many more.

Correct CPT® coding for embolization procedures can be difficult due to the complexity of the coding rules. In this session, interventional radiology coding expert Stacie Buck will provide tips for deciphering documentation and break down all of the CPT® coding rules for the various embolization procedures, including TACE, SIRT, CARTO, BRTO, neuroembolization and many more. Also, Stacie will discuss when it is permissible to report diagnostic angiography codes in addition to the embolization codes when performed during the same session. If embolization coding sometimes leaves you in a confused daze, this session is for you.
Topics to be Covered:
- Discussion of when diagnostic angiography codes may be reported at same time as embolization codes
- Coding rules for the following embolization codes will be discussed: 37241-37244, 61624 and 61626, 61623
- Importance of clinical indication in correct code selection
- Coding scenarios to illustrate each of the coding concepts discussed
