Question:
We are new to neuroendovascular coding. How do I know what’s a 2nd order or 3rd order vessel? This is very confusing to me.

Answer:
Agree it is confusing! Consult Appendix L in your CPT book for more information. Additionally, Kim and Teri are available to provide a neuroendovascular coding course to your group. Please let us know if you’re interested at education@karenzupko.com.
