Imaging Guidelines

ICD10 Imaging diagnoses and other diagnoses that require imaging should be coded together with corresponding Imaging Procedures, where we have a code for them. Coding both is not redundant because the ICD10 will only be coded for abnormal results, and we don't have CCI coding options for every kind of imaging. Coding both as appropriate will cover all the ways we are interested in this data.

Code only if done by Radiology or Cardiology

• Code diagnostic imaging procedures only if performed by Radiology or Cardiology for which there is an order.
  • Examples: a bedside echo done by a cardiology tech should be coded, but a bedside echo done by the ICU fellow should not be coded. An echo done informally by the cardiology team (i.e. informal in that no actual order was put in for it) should not be coded.

Multiple Views at one sitting

If a Abdominal plain X-ray (AXR) or CXR plain film comprises multiple views/films done at one sitting, only count it as ONE.

• e.g. if radiology does 3 views of the abdomen, this counts as 1, not 3.
