We are imaging for sarcoidosis, can you please tell us which CPT® codes to report?
Appropriate coding for sarcoidosis imaging depends on the protocols and imaging equipment used as well as the clinical rationale and patient-specific indications. SNMMI and ASNC have a joint consensus document located at https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12350-017-0978-9.pdf and https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/58/8/1341 in each society’s respective journals. While it is clear that resting perfusion PET or PET/CT is preferred for comparison with the FDG PET images, the consensus also states that if PET or PET/CT perfusion imaging is not available, it may be replaced with a resting SPECT or SPECT/CT perfusion study.
