    Wiki Radiology contrast documentation

    I have a question regarding documentation for contrast billing. Is it ok that the report states gadolinium for the injection, or does it specifically have to state Gadavist (the brand) in the report in order to have proper documentation for billing the contrast? Or is it sufficient enough that...

    Wiki Diagnostic Rad. Contrast Verbage

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if MRI procedures ever give oral contrast or is it always IV administered? For example, if the report says MRI of abdomen “pre-contrast” or “post contrast”, could we code 74150 or 74160 or would it HAVE to state “with “ or “without contrast”? And...

    Wiki Gadavist

    Can you bill for Gadavist (contrast) from both a 10ml AND 7.5 ml vial? The radiologist used 175 units of Gadavist, a whole 10ml vial, and 10 units from a 7.5ml vial, leaving 65 units of waste In our system, the NDC and pricing is tied to the 10ml vial. How would one bill for this?

    Wiki Radiology coding question

    If we preform a CT of Abdomen & Pelvis with contrast and a CT Lumbar spine with contrast is ordered, the CT abdomen/pelvis is performed and the CT Lumbar images are reformatted from the CT Abd/Pelvis Acquistion; can we charge for the CT Lumbar spine if we have separate reports?

    Wiki Clarification on the use of 36000

    :confused: Any Radiology experts out there today? We are an oncology center (but basically just a really large physicians office) with our own CT and PET equipment. We do not typically bill for the IV start (36000) but our lead tech has spoken with others in the same field who say they are...
