The Basics of ICD Diagnosis Coding
The CPT code describes what was done to the patient during the consultation, including diagnostic, laboratory, radiology, and surgical procedures while the ICD code identifies a diagnosis and describes a disease or medical condition. … CPT codes are more complex than ICD codes. What is a procedure code and why is it used?

This LCD supplements but does not replace, modify or supersede existing Medicare applicable National Coverage Determinations (NCDs) or payment policy rules and regulations for Computed Tomographic Angiography of the Chest, Heart and Coronary Arteries.
Multislice or Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) angiography with its advanced spatial and temporal resolution has opened up new possibilities in the imaging of the major vessels of the chest, including aorta, pulmonary arteries, and coronary arteries.
The ACR CT accreditation has approved status from CMS under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) and takes approximately four to six months from start to finish. The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center program meets the CMS threshold for radiation dose per the final NCD.
The decision to undertake screening should involve a discussion of its potential benefits, limitations, and harms. If a person decides to be screened, refer them for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT, ideally to a center with experience and expertise in lung cancer screening.
According to CMS’s proposed decision, radiologists must meet all of the following criteria: Board-certified or board-eligible with the American Board of Radiology or equivalent organization, with documented training in diagnostic radiology and radiation safety.
Medicare Advantage plans generally must provide coverage of all Medicare-covered services, but they are afforded flexibility in how and what they pay for those services. Based on past precedent, CMS is giving Medicare Advantage plans latitude with respect to coding and billing instructions for lung cancer screening.
The 6 th and 7 th character of a PCS angiography code are qualifiers which allow additional explanatory information to be communicated by the code. Some qualifiers and their values are specific to certain imaging “types”. For example, the value of “0” indicates a qualifier of “Unenhanced and Enhanced” for the CT and MRI imaging types but indicates “intraoperative” for the fluoroscopy imaging type. This means qualifier values are not necessarily interchangeable, so the PCS table should always be consulted to determine the correct value to assign.
Angiograms are performed primarily to diagnose vascular disease throughout the body. It’s common to see the diagnoses in the list below as the pre/post-operative diagnosis for angiography procedures. Pain in chest/angina. Coronary artery/heart disease (CAD) (CHD) Arterio/atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) Ischemic heart disease (IHD) ...
Diagnostic angiogram is often performed immediately preceding a therapeutic procedure such an angioplasty or thrombectomy and when looking for disease in the heart, angiography is often accompanied by a diagnostic heart cath.
