CT of the abdomen and pelvis is a special type of imaging performed with intravenous contrast material after the ingestion of oral barium. Images are generated and can be viewed on a computer monitor and burned on a CD. The weight limit for most scanners is 350 pounds.
Answer. If the payer uses Medicare's National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits, you can bill CPT codes 74176 and 74177 on the same date of service. A modifier is needed to indicate the scans were separate and distinct from each other, i.e., two separate scans. Depending on the payer, use modifier 59 or XU.

A CT (computerised tomography) scan uses x-rays and a computer to create a detailed picture of the inside of the body. A scan of the urinary system may be called a CT urogram, CT IVP (intravenous pyelogram) or a triple-phase abdomen and pelvis CT – these are different names for the same test.
Per Medicare's payment policy regarding NCCI edits, procedure code 96374 may not be reported with procedure codes 74177 and/or 71260 billed on the same claim. Payment for this service is included in the payment for the primary procedure. Separate payment is not recommended.

Computed tomography (CT) uses computer imaging and multiple, narrow beams of X-rays to produce thin, cross-sectional views or images of various body layers. These images allow visualization of soft tissue, as well as bones, making them useful for evaluating a wide range of conditions.#N#CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis frequently are performed together during the same encounter. The combined services are useful for evaluating a large number of conditions, including abdominal and pelvic pain; infections such as appendicitis or diverticulitis; inflammatory processes such as ulcerative colitis; and cancers of the colon, liver, kidneys, pancreas, and bladder. Combined CTs of the abdomen and pelvis also are performed to quickly identify internal injuries in cases of trauma.#N#During CT of the abdomen, the organs visualized include: the liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, the top half of the large intestine, the small intestine, and the superior aspect of the ureters. During a CT of the pelvis, the organs visualized include: the remainder of the large intestine, the small intestine, and ureters, as well as the bladder, uterus, and ovaries.

Use CPT ® 74177 only if both studies are done with contrast. Code 74178 should be used in two situations: One or both studies are done without contrast, followed by contrast material (s) and further sections. One study is done without contrast, while the other study is done with contrast.
The radiologist supervises the process of providing the CT, and then interprets the images acquired. He also dictates a report of his findings. The radiologist should report 74176.
