Abstract:
As interventional radiology continues to evolve into a true clinical practice, more time will be spent on the clinical decision process; this time is reimbursable in the form of evaluation and management (E&M) services. Once assumed to be an inherent part of the procedure itself, we know many procedures now do not include follow-up E&M components. Unfortunately, E&M coding is somewhat complex and requires rigorous documentation. Below is a discussion of the fundamentals of E&M services, general principles of documentation, and the mechanics of coverage and reimbursement.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
