Avatar n tn ) reviewed the CPT-4 codes for each study year (Table 1) to identify those that were believed to reflect the most common types of spinal injection procedures that radiologists perform, including lumbar discography (CPT-4 code 62290), cervical discography (CPT-4 code 62291), disk aspiration and/or injection (CPT-4 code 62287), epidural steroid injection (nonselective epidural injection or selective nerve root injection; CPT-4 code 62289 for lumbar injection or 62298 for cervical or thoracic injec
Avatar f tn CPT codes are the critical code numbers to tell your Insurance Co. when you call them for coverage information. They are the "procedure" codes that your Doctors office will bill to the insurance company. It is the first thing your Ins. company will ask for when you call them for coverage information. I am just trying to hunt down CPT codes myself and found that you have to ask for the "Billing dept.
Avatar n tn can some one tell me the code for billing static emg scanner?
Avatar m tn I was told to call the hospital and see what the cost of use would be for the out patient surgery. My doctor gave me CPT code of 67108. I got my estamite from the hospital and it's a staggering $15,000 dollars for us just to use the room. I Googled CPT codes and one site was AMA. Both sites said $1500.00 for code 67108. Can anyone tell me what to expect the hospital to charge for this? Not for the surgery, just for the privilege of using the place.
Avatar f tn It is usually referenced in codes, like the Current Procedural Terminology(CPT) code set is a medical code set maintained by the American Medical Association. Your primary care physician may be able to guide you appropriately, please discuss this with him. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn He shouldnt be charging you for more than your session time, 60 min is not the lowest increment available. I saw a code for 45 min also. Call your doctors office and ask for billing and enquire about it. Or call your insurance company and ask them about it. Tell either how much time you spent with the actual DR, not time in the waiting room. CPT Code 92214 means: Offic/Outpt E&M Estab Mod-Hi established patient. CPT Code 90838 means: psychotherapy, 60 minutes Hope this helps!
405614 tn?1329144114 my second brain MRI had that code, but not the first brain mri or spinal MRI (the CPT code listed the same for brain and spine; may be wrong). I researched the CPT code used for my spinal MRI, and they were standard MRIs without contrast. If the first brain MRI was ordered using the not-ms protocol CPT code, and the second one used the ms protocol CPT code. Wouldn't that mean that they were done differently and weren't adequate for noting changes?
2059648 tn?1439766665 Either ask your doctor to ask your insurance company what is the allowable charge for the particular CPT code of the test that you want, or call your insurance company and ask them directly. Concurrently, you could ask what percentage of allowable the insurance company will pay, or equivalently, what will be your patient responsibility. Don't forget to take into account any annual deductible that you haven't met yet!
Avatar f tn I have UH also, but it might also be what type of UH it is. If your doc has merit for the test, I don't see why it wouldn't be covered. You could find-out the CPT Code of the test (by calling the doc's office) and then call UH Customer Service (on the back of your ins. card), give them the CPT Code and ask if it is covered under your plan. If you already had the test and it is denied, appeal!
3132508 tn?1345235654 Hi doctor I requested a thyroid test earlier I was wondering if TSH [84443 CPT(R)] is a thyroid test
1025701 tn?1257172434 So, I am trying to find out from my insurance company (Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield federal) all the details I can. The girl who answered wanted to know what the CPT code for Tysabri is. If anyone out there knows what that is I would greatly appreciate it. I was hoping to find out as much as possible since I know that some places can charge you more per infusion. I think my cost will be 15% so it makes a big difference to me what the overall cost will be. Thanks so much for reading this.
Avatar f tn Where it says CPT Code it says 86695 and for hsv2 it says 86696. Am i reading this correctly that these are the wrong tests??
Avatar m tn I just had my biopsy at an imaging center and they said my doctor must have ordered the wrong test and they did the ultrasound guided biopsy. Does this mean that the imaging center seen something in the ultrasound that was more serious and took the lump out?
Avatar n tn Hi... Reading ultrasound is not my strong point, however, biopsy is recommended when thyroid nodules reach a certain size.
Avatar m tn Maybe see if there is a location there near you or speak with your doctor and tell him you understand he needs a screening but you cannot afford it - call around with the cpt code the doctor will use for the test and see if you can find your own lab that will do it cheaper. He should do it if you agree to go straight to the lab when they require a test.
Avatar f tn CPT code 92136 Ophthalmic biometry is what shows on the insurance claim. This was the doctor who diagnosed the polar cataract. the other doctor who said it was not polar just did a regular dilated manual exam.
Avatar f tn That's the CPT code that gets submitted to insurance. The other number is a Quest number they use to identify the WB. Two completely different identifiers. Really dear, move on from herpes! You're trying hard to hang on to it!

1652294 tn?1302015274 99213 is a valid CPT Code. CPT codes are used by doctors, usually for insurance billing purposes, to describe service sperformed for the patient. 99213 is a 'catch all' code that's used for a bunch of purposes and usually is used to describe a follow-up office visit for something - generally not specific.
Avatar m tn t talked to him yet as he is not in his office currently but this has me worried. Did he make a mistake and use the wrong ICD code or could this code also apply to the condition that I was diagnosed with. Thank you.
