I just joined the forum and my specialty is coding, auditing and education for radiology providers. I am happy to be of assistance where I can.
I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking is there is additional reimbursement for use of the technologies? If so, the answer is no.

|
just wondering if anyone can give me suggestion as to how to code radiology report. I know the basics, straightforward procedure, dxs codes. BUt sometines there was no dx indicated. Is there a book out there that teaches how to diseect the report? I searched and found some radiology books but it looks like mainly for medical student.
What do I look for basically in the report. I just want to learn and stay in this new job
any help?
thank you very much |

There really isn't a book that can teach you this, but you may want to give the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 23 a read about assigning diagbnosis codes.
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/manuals/downloads/clm104c23.pdf
Basically you assign a diagnosis code for a definitive diagnosis that is listed in the final impression, if there is nothing definitive you code signs/symptoms.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you require further direction:
