31.A 65-year-old female patient with atherosclerosis receives an abdominal aortography via serialography. The patient’s cardiologist reviews and interprets the findings. What is the appropriate code for this service?
33.ONCOLOGY CLINIC NOTE PATIENT NAME: Watts, Douglas AGE: 15 DATE: 07/08/2014 DIAGNOSIS: Mantle Cell Lymphoma in the Neck TREATMENT: Clinical Treatment Planning stage I including simulation of treatment
The patient was recently diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in the neck. He was seen in the clinic today for the first stage of clinical treatment planning. The patient’s first step is to start radiation treatments. Due to the mild nature of the lymphoma, planning will focus on a single treatment area, with a single radiation port and no blocking. The primary care oncologist agrees that this focus is the best way to manage the malignancy before it progresses. No further aggressive treatments are necessary at this time. The patient and his family also agree that this will be a sufficient means of treatment at this time. Simple simulation of single treatment area was completed and the treatment plan seems sufficient. The patient is scheduled to return to the clinic in two days, after dosimetry calculations have been completed and the total length of time for the radiation treatment has been calculated.
34.ONCOLOGY CLINIC NOTE PATIENT NAME: Watts, Douglas AGE: 15 DATE: 07/10/2014 DIAGNOSIS: Mantle Cell Lymphoma in the Neck TREATMENT: Dosimetry
A physician recommends clinical treatment planning, simple simulation of treatment, basic radiation dosimetry calculations (including central axis depth calculation, TDF, NSD, gap calculation, off-axis factor, and calculation of non-ionizing radiation surface) and depth dosing during clinical treatment planning. The amount of radiation is calculated and blocked to protect the remaining healthy tissues in the neck, shield the rest of the body from radiation, determine the dosage delivery and fractionate the radiation into treatments. The patient is scheduled to receive three treatments (once per week for the first two weeks) and once per month for the next three months. An simple treatment device delivers the required dosage to the port. What is the correct code for this procedure?
