Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for diagnostic studies of cervicocerebral arteries.
CPT Code 36200
CPT 36200 describes the introduction of a catheter into the aorta.
CPT Code 36215
CPT 36215 describes the placement of a selective catheter within a vascular family, specifically within the arterial system’s first-order thoracic or brachiocephalic branch.
CPT Code 36216
CPT 36216 describes the placement of a selective catheter within a vascular family’s initial second-order thoracic or brachiocephalic branch.
CPT Code 36217
CPT 36217 describes placing an initial third-order or more selective thoracic or brachiocephalic branch within a vascular family using a selective catheter placement in the arterial system.
CPT Code 36218
CPT 36218 describes selective catheter placement of additional second-order, third-order, and beyond thoracic or brachiocephalic branch vessels within a vascular family, in addition to the code for the initial second or third-order vessel.
CPT Code 36221
CPT 36221 describes non-selective catheter placement of the thoracic aorta with angiography of the extracranial carotid, vertebral, and/or intracranial vessels, unilateral or bilateral, and all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, including angiography of the cervicocerebral arch when performed.
CPT Code 36222
CPT 36222 describes the placement of a unilateral catheter in either the common carotid or innominate artery, with angiography of the ipsilateral extracranial carotid circulation and all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, including angiography of the cervicocerebral arch when performed.
CPT Code 36223
CPT 36223 describes the placement of a unilateral catheter in either the common carotid or innominate artery, with angiography of the ipsilateral intracranial carotid circulation and all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, as well as angiography of the extracranial carotid and cervicocerebral arch when performed.
CPT Code 36224
CPT 36224 describes the placement of a unilateral selective catheter with angiography of the ipsilateral intracranial carotid circulation, including angiography of the extracranial carotid and cervicocerebral arch, when performed, with all associated radiological supervision and interpretation.
CPT Code 36225
CPT 36225 describes the placement of a unilateral selective catheter in either the subclavian or innominate artery, with angiography of the ipsilateral vertebral circulation and all associated radiological supervision and interpretation, including angiography of the cervicocerebral arch when performed.
CPT Code 36226
CPT 36226 describes the placement of a unilateral selective catheter with angiography of the ipsilateral vertebral circulation, including angiography of the cervicocerebral arch when performed, with all associated radiological supervision and interpretation.
