Bilateral Uterine Artery Embolization

Why This Topic Matters

Postpartum hemorrhage embolization cases can involve multiple imaging and catheterization services that are easy to underreport or misclassify. This article helps readers recognize the service categories involved and understand how the case is presented within coding guidance.
