Under fluorscopic guidance, a 22-gauge spinal needle was inserted into the thecal sac at L2-L3. A total of 2 cc of 500 uci In-111DTPA was infused into the patient's thecal sac. Needle was removed and sterile dressing applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well.

Following intrathecal administration of 0.5 uCi of In-111 DTPA, 4 hours, 24, and 48 hours delayed images were obtained.


Can someone help me bill this procedure? I know the cisternogram is 78630 but I am not sure what to bill for the infusion...
