Can we use flow cytometry series of codes to bill for absolute cell counts for those not requiring interpretation if they are performed by flow cytometry?
Can we bill for an angiogram and catheter placement for a failed access site done during a Left Heart Catheterization (LHC)? For example, the right radial artery (RRA) access was obtained but we could not navigate the wire to the right subclavian. Right brachial artery angiography was performed through the diagnostic catheter. There was moderate tortuosity and the vessel size was small, and a decision was made to pursue a right femoral artery access. Could we bill 36140-59 and 75710-59 with LHC 93458?
For ultrasound exams that are non-diagnostic due to gas, body habitus, etc. is it appropriate to down code to a limited exam (if ordered as complete) and append a modifier 52?
Can you please recommend an appropriate code for an ultrasound of soft tissue mass upper back?
What is the difference in intent with codes 95812 and 98513?
Are there any PLA codes in immunology for COVID-19?
Can we report 78445 with any other nuclear medicine procedures?
If we have multiple markers for reporting flow cytometry tests using code 88184, how would this process work for coding?
Can we bill for both 95782 and 95873 when reporting a sleep study?
When an EKG is ordered and read during the office visit, does that count as two points for the new Evaluation and Management (E/M) coding?
Can code 93565 be reported for diagnostic selective left atrial with Category III codes?
We are confused about some of the details surrounding 94060. Do you know what the NCCI says about components for this code?
