Wiki Basic radiology question about 74230

[raechelz]

So code 74230 - Swallowing function, with cineradiography/videoradiography

Is usually done with the speech pathologist and the radiologist does the read and report.

How are most coding this for a radiologist? Key thing radiologist usually is not in the room.

Thank you,

I do billing for a physicians group, the speech and language pathologist is doing the study, and my docs are reading it would it still be 74230 -26?

If your doc is doing an interp of the images, then yes, 74230-26. The speech pathologist will be billing 92611.
