I am relatively new at surgery coding and was hoping someone could help clarify if our surgeons should be billing 74300-26. I located the Medicare Claims Processing Manual and also researched on Encoder and both are saying that 74300-26 is reserved for the radiologist. I have confirmed that there is a report dictated by the radiologist, but the surgeon is stating that they were told if they dictate the real-time read in their operative note that they can use 74300-26. My gut is still saying they can't. Help, please!

Thanks,
