Abdomen X-ray coding in 2018

Abdomen X-ray codes have changed, the old Abdomen X-ray codes 74000, 74020 are being deleted and are being replaced by 74018, 74019 and 74021.

As the new Abdomen X-ray codes are coded based on the number of views, from a documentation compliance standpoint it is imperative for the practice to ensure that the number of views are appropriately documented.

The new Abdomen X-ray codes are,
  • 74018 Radiologic examination, abdomen; single view
  • 74019 Radiologic examination, abdomen; two views
  • 74021 Radiologic examination, abdomen; three or more views

    Thanks for posting the blog! OpenEMR programming in low-and center salary nations is the expense of its buy and support, which features the open-source approach as a decent answer for these underserved territories.
