3D post processing 76377

Date: Jan 24, 2024

Question:

I am coding for a new group, and we are using the following dictation to bill code 76377. The powers that be are stating the standard procedure in the department is that the radiologist is directly involved in the creation of the images. Is this enough dictation in the report to consider concurrent supervision and bill appropriately? "3D post-processing of the images was performed on an independent workstation, and the post-processed images were used in interpretation." I want to make sure we are compliant when using this code in our IR cases.
