I'm confused.....

Provider states - Bilateral hypogastric artery ligation was performed to limit the pelvic oozing. Is the 37617 considered to be a bilateral procedure code or can it be billed with 50 or RT/LT?

CMS fee schedule has a 0 in the bilateral field and that explanation makes no sense to me today!

Thanks for any help!
 
MUE is 3 so I think you would just bill the code once with 2 units. Anatomically, there isn't a right and left since you don't have 2 abdomens.
