Coding for myocardial sympathetic innervation imaging

Q.

Do you have a recommendation on how to bill myocardial sympathetic innervation imaging, planar qualitative and quantitative assessment; with tomographic SPECT/CT? There are CPT^® codes for planar (0331T) and SPECT (0332T), but not a code for SPECT/CT.

A.

There is not a specific code to report SPECT/CT for this procedure. We recommend you report 0332T. The codes and full descriptions are as follows:

0331T Myocardial sympathetic innervation imaging, planar qualitative and quantitative assessment

0332T Myocardial sympathetic innervation imaging, planar qualitative and quantitative assessment; with tomographic SPECT
