is there a diagnosis code for the CT following a discogram. i was ask the question should they use the same diagnosis code that they use for the discogram or is there a code for after dye placement?

thanks
 
The order for the CT should list the reason. You may also discern this from the Rad report--if it is appropriately documented. This would be the reason. Most of the time, I would conclude they'll have the same dx, but not always.
