CLINICAL HISTORY: Elevated PTH.
PROCEDURE: Radionuclide administration for parathyroid detection. 10.7
mCi Tc 99m sestamibi were administered for tumor localization in the
thyroid bed.
RESULTS: Successful radionuclide administration for parathyroid tumor
localization
I code the above as 78808 but most insurances have been denying as inclusive as our hosp also bills for this charge and I wanted to know if anyone knows if there is another CPT for the professional component that I can bill for the Radiologist.
