Does anyone know what the CPT code for reviewing a radiology image for breast calcs is?
 
Do you actually bill for that and get paid?? I have NEVER heard of a pathologist billing that.

Well you learn something every day. What is the CMS 2014 reimbursement for that?
 
ug...its 8 bucks....I dont do anything for 8 bucks.
 
If you're already reading the radiology film as part of your breast case, why not just tack on the billing code for it? Seems worth the $8 for something you're doing anyway.

Yeah but what are you really adding to the care? Would you want to pay a pathologist an extra 8 bucks because he double checked that there are calcs on the x-Ray.

I guess you know if you are looking for a tiny call or a truckload.
