Chargeable Contrast

Date: Feb 14, 2014

Question:

How do you know which types of contrast are chargeable? I've been told that oral/rectal contrast is intergral to the study and the charge for the contrast is included in the charge for the study. They also do not charge for myelogram and arthrogram contrast.
