Study Notes
Radiology Codes
- CPT Code range for Radiology Procedures is 70010-79999.
- Diagnostic Radiology: Reports services rendered for disease assessment to obtain definitive diagnoses.
- Diagnostic Ultrasound: Establishes diagnosis based on the study’s extent (complete, limited, or follow-up).
- Radiologic Guidance: Includes fluoroscopic guidance, CT, MRI guidance, requiring adherence to specific coding instructions.
