I wanted to know what the general consensus is on this situation... as I have run into several coders who have differing opinions on this...
If a cerebral embolization is performed (61624, 75894) with lets say 4 coils in the basilar artery, and MD dictates that he did 4 angios prior to the deployment of each of those coils, plus one final diagnostic angiogram to confirm total occlusion of the angiogram, would you give them credit for the final diagnositc angiogram?
So the question is how many 75898's would you give them? 4 or 5?
