61645 and 76380

Date: Mar 15, 2024

Question:

I am hoping you can help us with Dyna CT 76380 being performed after a 61645 thrombectomy, n. I have been taught that if done after the intervention it is a follow up and it would bundle with the intervention. There is a edit with 61645 and 76380. Our neurosurgeon's feel it should be charged where it is not a required part of the procedure, and they are looking for intercranial hemorrhage after the thrombectomy . I am not seeing any old questions from DR Z Website addressing this and I am hoping you could give us your thoughts and opinion on this. I told the neurosurgeon I would reach out to you on this. Would the Dyna CT be separately reportable if performed after the intervention when the physician is looking for an intercranial hemorrhage after completing this procedure? I appreciate all your help on this question. Thank you DR Z I appreciate any help on this.
