Need radiology coding help.....
The Pelvic X ray report given as follows,
Indication : Kidney stones
Body of the Report: No stones found in the kidney or ureter.
Impression : No renal calculi found.
Our educator suggest to use 592.0, because of medical necessity.
I think this is not a right way of coding the report.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
