DynaCT

Date: Feb 16, 2022

Question:

What can you tell us about the coding of DynaCT imaging in a diagnostic cerebral angiography procedure? This topic has been a source of confusion for us in the IR coding area. If DynaCT is documented, would we report code 76380? May we report 3D reconstruction (e.g., 76377) with DynaCT if both procedures are documented? For a cerebral artery embolization, if DynaCT is used to confirm placement of the device, are we correct in thinking that this follow-up imaging may NOT be reported? What is DynaCTA, and how does its coding (in cerebral artery cases) differ from that of DynaCT?
