Billing for ERCP imaging in OR

Date: Feb 9, 2022

Question:

Our techs in Radiology take C-arm fluoro imaging in operating room to assist surgeon, then the radiologist dictates findings. Can Radiology charge one of these codes for the ERCP images (74330, 74328, 74329)? Also along those lines, could we also charge for cholangiogram, uretherogram, etc.  for images taken in the operating room then dictated by radiologist?
