Report:
HIDA Scan
Following the uneventful intravenous infusion of 4.4 mCi Tc-99m Choletec, the liver is seen at 10 minutes, the gallbladder and common bile duct to the small bowel at 20 minutes. At 60 minutes, 1.7 mirograms of Kinevac was given and 30 cc of saline over 30 minutes. The ejection fraction is normal at 76% at 30 minutes.
Conclusion: normal HIDA scan and ejection fraction
Reason for visit: abdominal pain
How would you code the above report using the new 2012 procedure codes? Could you also give an explanation so I can show to our Doctors.
Thank you,
