Do you know which code to use for MRI SC Joint? Does this go under a Chest or Extremity?
 
Happy Monday!

Depends on the purpose of the exam. But in this case per your question, I would look at MRI -->Joint
(Sternoclavicular Joint) --> Upper Extremity --> 73221-73223. Hope that helps.

I agree w/ response from Sacteam. The SC joint is an upper extremity joint. If the CC or DX involves the area where the clavicle & sternum meets, then codes 73221 - 73223 would seem appropriate.
