I am coding for a Radiology group in a hospital. I need help with the "shunt series" coding.
Is there a specific code for "Shunt Series" to evaluate for shunt malfunction (skull, chest, and abdomen) The radiologist are using CPT 75809. I don't feel comfortable with this code due to the description including radioactive isotope in the shunt before the x-rays. Any assistance would be appreciated.
tks, Sharon T
