Correct coding for images obtained with O Arm

Date: May 10, 2021

Question:

We have a new O-arm in our surgery suite. Images are obtained in both fluoro and CT modalities. Would we charge only for the higher level imaging (CT), or can we submit a charge for both CT and fluoro imaging when the procedure code allows for separate coding of the imaging and does not bundle?
