I have an order for 4 MRI's.

Elbow, Wrist, Hand, and Forearm. I have read conflicting articles on whether you can do joint MRI for the elbow and the Wrist and same with the non joint MRI's.

how would most of you code this?


Thank you,

Z-Health 2015 says to code each joint as per joint imaged but to code non-joint imaging as once per extremity for MRIs. Both 73221 and 73218 have an MUE of 2.
