The Impact of MRI Complexity on Coding and Reimbursement
The Impact of MRI Complexity on Coding and Reimbursement Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable tool of modern radiology. But as the MRI examinations become more specialised, MRI coding becomes more and more complicated. Anatomical region, contrast administration, imaging protocol, duration of examination, implanted devices, and documentation requirements can impact MRI CPT Codes, […]
How Radiology Coding Connects Imaging Technique to Correct CPT Procedure
How Radiology Coding Connects Imaging Technique to Correct CPT Procedure Radiology coding begins with an imaging modality, but payment accuracy is far more than determining if the study is an MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound. The correct procedure code must be associated with the imaging modality, body region, protocol, contrast, views, extent of the examination […]
