Physician payment rates are based on conversion factor $35.8043 through December 31, 2016. Coding for administration of SIR-Spheres microspheres can be complex. There is no consensus or consistency in the coding/billing for the administration of SIR-Sphere microspheres. This coding guide provides SIR-Spheres Microspheres PreTreatment and Day of Treatment coding options. Payer policies should be reviewed for coverage & coding guidelines.
