Question:
Hello Dr. Z, Our radiologist just recently started doing discectomies. He brings all patient's back in 2 weeks or so and has a follow up MRI done. We have been coding the follow up MRI as 76498, but medicare is saying we cannot bill this on the part B side. Do you have any input on this? THANKS
