Ask Dr. Z

We have this question coming from Rev. Cycle. Can you help us answer it? Look below. Is this service bundled into procedure or separate billable? If billable what is the CPT code? This exam though is only a post CT scan (low dose/non-diagnostic) to validate the placement of the fiducial (which is placed in IR and then the patient comes to CT for this post scan). It does not get a diagnostic radiologist read. The images are used to count the vertebrae of the spine to validate that the fiducial was placed in the correct location.
