:Hello Radiology Experts.
I am hoping you can help me with a questions on ct myelograms. We normally bill cpt codes 62284 (for the intrathecal injection procedure spinal, other than C1-C2, and cpt 72240 for (myelography, cervical radilogical supervision and interpretation, and also cpt 72126 (Ct cervical spine with contrast material.
We have some payors that are denying cpt 72156 and stating we should be billing for cpt 72125 (ct cervical spine without contrast).
Does anyone out there have experience with these procedures and are the payors correct in stating that the ct cervical spine after the myelogram injection should be ct cervical spine without contrast?
Thanking you in advance for any and all help.
