MR Elastography

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

Our doctors want to start performing MRI-guided elastography. I know there is a new CPT code for the elastography for January 2019, but how would we code now until then? I'm thinking it should have to be an unlisted code 76498, as there is currently no CPT for MR elastography.
