When it comes to radiology coding, where do you get the CPT from, the order or the report?
Example: Ordering Physician states to do a Pelvic Ultrasound (76856/76830) but in addition to this the Radiologist also does a complete Doppler (93975).
Would you code directly from the order (which is what the hospital did!) or would you code from the radiology report?
Just need clarification. TIA
