If the documentation doesn’t state the origin for 20551, should we code 20550?
Would you use 64450 for a femoral cutaneous nerve block?
Can we code multiple codes for a blood patch when injected in different levels?
Would the sacroiliac joint be a medium or large joint?
Just for clarification on the Knee MR Arthrogram; When ordered and service performed, billing is as follows: Fluoro guidance used for the injection you would not report 73580. Submission is for the fluoro, injection, and MR?
What code would use for a catheter placed into the internal jugular with contrast injection and imaging?
Should screening mammography be delayed after a recent COVID-19 vaccination?
Regarding pulmonary angiography coding, when a catheter is placed in the main pulmonary artery and an angiogram was performed with findings, we know this is considered nonselective. However, when a catheter was selected into RT and LT pulmonary arteries but no angiogram was performed before a thrombectomy was performed, what is the coding here? Should we code 75746, 36014RT, and 36014LT, or do we change 75746 to 75743 since they went selectively into RT and LT pulmonary arteries? Please clarify.
We have been following the instruction that 75774 only applies to subselective ARTERIAL studies; however, CPT® Assistant September 2022 states “If venography is performed in a main vessel and then a selective venogram is performed, report code 75774 in addition to the venography code for the initial vessel. Can you please clarify any current instructions?
What type of bill must be assigned for screening mammograms?
For the pulmonary angio codes, if the RHC is done in the cath lab but the pulmonary angiogram is done in IR which codes would be used where?
What does 76881 require for examination?
