January 2011 is just round the corner. As a radiology coder, you are likely to witness new CT codes 74176-74178. In addition to it, you will see a collection of stent and angioplasty codes for the coming year.

So for those tired of cluttering up your claims with both abdominal and pelvic CT codes, CPT 2011 has the solution you crave. The AMA has just released the CPT code list that you can expect to go into effect on January 1, 2011.

The CPT code list includes the following:

74176 -- Computed tomography, abdomen and pelvis; without contrast material

74177 -- with contrast material(s)

74178 -- without contrast material in one or both body regions, followed by contrast material(s) and further sections in one or both body regions.
For more details on this, sign up for a one-stop medical coding website. Such a site will provide proper use of these codes as well as just-in codes for nonvascular extremity ultrasound, revised codes for stent placement, endovascular iliac artery repair, and angioplasty RS&I, and lots more.

Such a site comes with CPT code lookups to assist you in your coding. What's more, when you get onboard such a website, you will stay up to date with all the code changes – be it CPT, ICD-9 or HCPCS codes(http://www.supercoder.com/hcpcs-codes). Keeping such a site handy will also ensure you stay away from claim denials. Such a site doesn't cost you much either.
