Wiki Thallium study

Hi all,

I have a question about charges for a Thallium study. I need to bill for the supervision by my cardiologist for the study performed in the hospital. I've been told two different things:

Bill 78464 for the first day and 78465 for the second day along with A9505 (we can't bill for the Thallium, I know).

And the second was just to bill the 78465 for the entire study. This is a two day study.

I'm confused and need some help.

Anyone??

Thanks,
Cyndi
 
If resting images are obtained on one day and stress images on another day you would report 78465 once.

CMS says to use day 2
