The following codes should be used only if both the abdominal and pelvic CT are performed during the same encounter. 74176 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material 74177 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; with contrast material
The following three CPT codes describe same-session CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis: • 74176, Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material; • 74177, Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; with contrast material(s); and
• 74178, Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material in one or both body regions, followed by contrast material (s) and further sections in one or both body regions. Report 74176 when both studies (abdomen and pelvis) are performed without contrast.
74177 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; with contrast material 74178 Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material in one or both body regions, followed by contrast material (s) and further sections in one or both body regions The AMA includes a table in CPT ® 2011 (see Table A) to help you determine the correct code.
BW2110Z is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Abdomen and Pelvis using Low Osmolar Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced. It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021.
ICD-10-PCS Code BW25YZZ - Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis using Other Contrast - Codify by AAPC.
74178, Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material in one or both body regions, followed by contrast material(s) and further sections in one or both body regions. Report 74176 when both studies (abdomen and pelvis) are performed without contrast.
ICD-10 code: R93. 5 Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other abdominal regions, including retroperitoneum.
CTA Coding 72191, Computed tomographic angiography, pelvis, with contrast material(s), including noncontrast images, if performed, and image postprocessing.
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.

ICD-10-CM Code for Abnormal findings on diagnostic imaging of other specified body structures R93. 8.
Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung fieldICD-10 code R91. 8 for Other nonspecific abnormal finding of lung field is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
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.

70496 includes ANY noncontrast imaging performed during the same session, whether for localization or diagnostic. Be careful before you use modifier XU - it has to clearly meet a criteria to be separately reported. If you do a CT scan before the CTA on the same visit with no new findings, 70450 is bundled to 70496.
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.

The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) includes edits to prevent reporting stand-alone CT abdomen (74150 to 74170) and CT pelvis (72192 to 72194) codes on the same day of service as the combination CT abdomen and pelvis codes 74176 to 74178.
The abdomen and pelvis frequently undergo CT imaging at the same time, for instance to evaluate a patient following trauma or for conditions such as appendicitis, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and cancer.
