In the event contrast is physically attempted to be administered but cannot, the tech should update the IMG to the CTA reduced coronary arties w cardiac score for the radiologist read and CTA reduced coronary arties w cardiac score Cardiac for the cardiologist read so the appropriate modifier gets appended to CPT code 75574. In addition to the nurse’s note, the provider should also be documenting the attempt and why the contrast could not be given to support their charge. For example, the patient’s vein infiltrated.
What I can do if this is not applicable for professional billing, is I can have the 52 charge modifier associated with 75574 for the technical charge and have the professional charge be 75571. Would this be okay?
