Below is the report I'm trying to determine what icd-9 code to use for cpt 77072 (Bone age Studies):
HISTORY: Determined bone age
BONE AGE (HAND):
FINDINGS:
A single PA view of the left hand and wrist was performed to assess skeletal maturity. The patient's chronologic age is 8 years 11 months. According to the standards of Greulich and Pyle, bone age most closely approximates 8 years, 10 months. A single standard deviation for a 9 year-old girl is 10.74 months.
IMPRESSION:
Normal bone age.
Thank you,
