Wiki Coding 76377 with a CT

[maebelle@gmail.com]

Can anyone explain when it is appropriate to bill code 76377 with a CT procedure code (70486)? My doctors routinely bill these two codes together, but my understanding is that code 76377 should not be routinely used. However, I'm having trouble finding information regarding when it IS appropriate to bill this code. Any information would be helpful!
