Question
A coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) was ordered, but the patient’s initial calcium score was too high, and the rest of the CTA was canceled. Do we code 75574-52 or 75571?
Answer
Check with your payer for specific instructions. Some payers require you to assign the following code but consider this to be a non-covered exam.
75571CT, heart, without contrast material, with quantitative evaluation of coronary calcium
