Wiki Pre mri metal check

[PeaPod1]

Hello,
Just looking to see what other people are using for ICD 9 code for pre-MRI metal check of skull and orbits?
Thanks

We use V82.89, Special Screening for Other Conditions

We used 908.5, late effect

Would V72.83 be appropriate? It says Other Pre-procedural examination. Just curious...

We use 870.4 if the foreign body is found as secondary to the V82.89.

Hi

we use V82.89 if foreign body is not found

Hi there!
If you are just coding the encounter to be an examination prior to having an MRI, then i would agree with roadsky40, V72.83, as per ICD guideline. thanks

We use v72.85.

I know this is old but what CPT codes were used ?
70200 or 70030 and did you bill out skull xrays also ?
