Advanced Imaging Techniques for Skin Cancer Diagnosis and Reduction Of Unnecessary Biopsies-CPT Code Reporting for Imaging

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses CPT code reporting for non-invasive imaging using reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and the Caliber ID Vivascope 1500 system. The RCM codes are in the dermatologic procedure section of the CPT book since 2016 and valued by CMS since 2017. The speaker explains the use of different CPT codes for image acquisition, interpretation, and reporting for single or multiple lesions. They emphasize the importance of proper documentation and coding for reimbursement. The speaker also touches on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as another technology. The talk emphasizes the importance of following guidelines and ensuring proper reimbursement for services provided.
