Radiology Question for the Week of February 3, 2020

Question:

For reporting MRA procedures, is it required to have 3-D post-processing stated in the report?

Answer:

When coding/billing for MRA procedures, unlike the documentation recommended to support code assignment for CTA billing, it is not required that 3-D post-processing be defined in the dictated report.

This question was answered in our Breast & Bone Density Procedure Coding Guide. For more hot topics relating to radiology services, please visit our store or call us at 1.800.252.1578, ext. 2.
