Wiki Repeat Embolization - HELP!!!

[missyah20]

Good Afternoon,
I have a patient who had an embolization of the Superior Gluteal artery in the morning and then returned to the IR room later in the day due to post-op bleeding and this was subsequently re-embolized. Would the Catheter placement/embolization be separately billable for the second procedure?

I would say yes but sounds like you will need a 78 modifier.

I agree.
