One look will keep you clear from radiology bundling errors

Before you even begin to code endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta, you have to sort through CPT Guidelines and National Correct Coding Initiative edits. We've simplified the process for you by putting all the rules in one place.

Use this chart to quickly identify the appropriate radiological supervision and interpretation codes for endovascular repair codes 33880-33891. This chart also lists the radiology codes bundled in to the endovascular repair and RS&I codes by NCCI Edits version 12.0, effective Jan. 1, 2006.

Note: You can find the full list of NCCI physician edits at www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalCorrectCodInitEd/NCCIEP/list.asp. CMS revamped its Web site, so you'll need this new address to find the edits on the Web.
