Denice, 

 

Would you mind contacting me offline regarding this? I am being told of
an unspecified code provided to us by Heidelberg regarding billing for
FAF. 

 

Thanks!

FAF is same code as color imaging.  Does not have it's own CPT code at
this time.  If you do FAF in combination with color imaging you can only
bill for one.

 

Likewise, you cannot bill separately for the Infrared. 

 

Nice try though.

Is anyone out there billing for FAF, or IR images off of the HRA? If so,
what code do you use? Thanks!

 

Thanks,
