Coding for CT without contrast with quantitative evaluation of coronary calcium

Q.

Is there a CPT® code for PET/CT for calcium scoring? 

A.

There is not a PET/CT CPT code for calcium scoring. There is a CT CPT® code, but not a PET/CT CPT code. If calcium scoring is performed as part of a cardiac PET/CT, it would not be reported separately. 

The code and full description are as follows:

75571 Computed tomography, heart, without contrast material, with quantitative evaluation of coronary calcium
