75635 for venous
Date: Dec 3, 2010
Question:
When our Radiology department scans for possible DVT, they scan the patient's abdomen, pelvis, and both lower extremities. Currently they are charging codes 74160 and 72193. Can they also charge 73701 for the extremity portion of the exam, and can they charge 73701 twice to account for the bilateral extremity exam? Thanks.
