When is the new 2026 code 37262 reported?
Why was 87812 established in 2026?
If a nuclear medicine planar scan is performed of the knees for a possible infection, would this be coded as 78300 or 78800? Does it matter which radiopharmaceutical was used? Nuclear medicine technologists are saying it should be coded as an infection scan using 78800. Their point is that an infection radiopharmaceutical is being used, so it should be coded as 78800. However, when I read the heading of the section for 78800, it states “(for specific organ, see appropriate heading),” which would be the musculoskeletal system. Since a limited planar scan is present in that section, I believe 78300 should be used.
When do we report code 94640 for continuous inhalation treatment?
Does code 38228 rely on the start and stop time documented in the medical record?
To provide you with the most actionable compliance and regulatory questions, we are retiring the pharmacy compliance question of the week to focus on answering more commonly asked questions that safeguard accurate coding and save reimbursement. The pharmacy archive will still be available and is accessible here. Compliance Question of the Week will continue to help you overcome compliance challenges, reduce operational waste, and optimize healthcare.
