Question: Pre-Procedure SIRTeX GDA Embolization with Angiograms

We routinely perform pre-procedure embolization and roadmapping prior to the SIRTeX procedure. When the GDA is embolized we are using CPT code 37242 for the embolization. Can we bill the pre-procedure roadmapping for the SIRTeX at the same time as the GDA embolization? From report: IMPRESSION: Arterial mapping and coil embolization as described above for preprocedure SIRTeX SIR-Spheres selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT).
