NM Bone scan Whole body with pt refusal of images

Posted on December 21, 2018 by CPC Exam Medical Coding Updates

I have a pt that has come in to have a NM bone scan whole body. The pt refused images after the injection of 20.9 mCi of technetium 99 M labeled MDM due to him being claustrophobic.

I’m a little confused on which way to go with this one. At first I was thinking that I would bill for the body scan with the 52 modifier but now I’m thinking that I would only bill for the injection.

Can anyone help break this down for me?

Thanks

CT scan for the whole body

Posted on July 27, 2017 by CPC Exam Medical Coding Updates

Has any one every code for a whole body CT scan before? I am looking for a code and the only code that I keep getting reference to is 76497 which is unlisted computed tomography procedure(eg, diagnostic, interventional). Does anyone know if this is correct, or do I need to code each area of the body separate for this test.

Thank you,
