Cardiology

Week of June 17, 2013

Question:

What code should we be using for a calcium coronary score?

Answer:

When calcium scoring is performed alone, use 75571. Never assign this code when this procedure is performed with those identified by codes 75572–75574, because it is considered a component of these codes.
