3D with spinal reformatting
Date: Mar 11, 2024
Question:
My question is assuming a CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis is performed with contrast (for professional billing). Provider documented: "3D multi-planar volumetric acquisition is obtained of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Spinal reformatted imaging IS performed for the thoracic and lumbar spine." How would this be coded? In the same situation, if spinal reformatted imaging is NOT performed, how would this be coded?
