Some radiology and other diagnostic services may not have a corresponding HCPCS code. This is because these are typically services that are rarely provided, unusual, or new. The provider should assign the appropriate “unlisted procedure” code to any such service. The following list contains the “unlisted procedure” codes along with the suggested revenue code for billing. These services are paid on a fee schedule if one exists or cost if a fee has not been established for SNFs. However, before billing any of these codes the provider needs to furnish a complete description of the radiology procedure to the A/B MAC (A) for review and analysis. The description should include a narrative definition of the procedure and a description of the nature, extent and need for the procedure and the time, effort, and equipment necessary. The A/B MAC (A) will determine if the provider has correctly identified the procedure as “unlisted.” If the procedure is not identified correctly, the A/B MAC (A) will inform the provider of the correct HCPCS code to assign to the procedure. If there is no fee schedule amount established, these services are paid based on cost to SNFs.
