With calcium scoring code 75571, 3D post-processing CPT code 76377 can be coded at the same session with a modifier. My radiologists always do the reformation of images for these studies on a separate workstation. With proper documentation, can I assign CPT code 76377 on those studied?
When my doctor performs a diagnostic angiogram or interventional procedure such as embolization, what does he need to document?
My doctor documents moderate sedation time as “approximately xx minutes.” Is this appropriate documentation of time?
Is the AMA’s definitive drug class listing catalog all-encompassing?
Please help me understand when it’s appropriate or not to charge for post-processing 3D imaging.
What is the difference between concurrent and sequential infusions?
What is the status of the appropriate use criteria? Did the final rule provide any updates?
How will the conversion factor in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule impact radiology providers?
What time can be used for infusion stop if the patient is in the clinic and has a negative reaction requiring inpatient admission?
We have a patient who received 3 hours of IV hydration. During that time, the patient received 2 different drugs by intravenous push. Can the entire 3 hours of IV hydration be coded with the intravenous push injections?
How would we bill the concurrent IV administration of one chemotherapy drug and one non-chemotherapy when the drugs are given with separate bags at the same site?
If a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study is not completed due to the patient being in too much pain, how should this be billed for a non-hospital office? We used a 52 modifier, but Medicare is denying it saying that is an inappropriate modifier. Would you just bill it as a regular study?
