Managing a department 

In researching the RVU increase for the CT department, you notice the number of exams mostly stayed the same with the annual exam averages report. You also notice that as your average, the majority of exams on the scanner are Head CTs and subsequently Abdomen/Pelvis exams.

Using your trusty reporting tools from the radiology information system (RIS), to data-mine the billing information, you find that the increase of RVU’s can be attributed to the abdomen/pelvis exams on the scanner. For some reason, your scanner is sending a message to the RIS to bill twice as much as the CPT standards allow. You have been over-billing your patients.

Some Technical Information:

Your CT scanner contains a list of exams that the technologist can select. These exams each have a CPT code attached to them that gets sent to the RIS for billing. The technologist can select the appropriate exam based on the order but the CPT code is in the background information and is not visible to the technologist on the screen.
There are three (to keep our case study simple, we won’t do with/without contrast) types of exams in the Abdomen/Pelvis on your billing reference list.
Abdomen/Pelvis 74176 – RVU 1.5
Abdomen 74150 – RVU 1.0
Pelvis 72192 – RVU 1.0
