Billable

Radiological procedure and radiotherapy as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A complication or abnormal reaction that occurred after a radiological imaging procedure or radiation therapy treatment, not due to a mistake during the procedure itself.

Coding Tips

  • Use for complications from X-rays, CT scans, MRI, or radiation therapy such as radiation burns, allergic reactions to contrast dye, or radiation sickness
  • Document the specific radiological procedure or radiotherapy type in the medical record for clarity
