Schedule

 

This schedule must be used in conjunction with the Radiological Society of SA Guidelines. Please refer to the PET guidelines in Annexure D.

 

Code Structure Framework

 

(a) The tariff code consists of 5 digits
(i) 1st digit indicates the main anatomical region or procedural category.

0 = General (non specific)

1 = Head

2 = Neck

3 = Thorax

4 = Abdomen and Pelvis (soft tissue)

5 = Spine, Pelvis and Hips

6 = Upper limbs

7 = Lower limbs

8 = Interventional

9 = Soft tissue regions (nuclear medicine)

eg "Head" = 1xxxx

 

(ii) 2nd digit indicates the sub region within a main region or category eg.

"Head/Skull and Brain" = 10xxx

 

(iii) 3rd digit indicates modality

1 = General (Black and White) x-ray

2 = Ultrasound

3 = Computed Tomography

4 = Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5 = Angiography

6 = Interventional radiology

9 = Nuclear Medicine (Isotopes)

eg:

Head/Skull and Brain/General x-ray 101xx

 

(iv) 4th and 5th digits are specific to a procedure/examination, eg

"Head/Skull and Brain/General/X-ray of the skull" = 10100.

 

Guidelines for use of coding structure

The vast majority of the codes describe complete procedures/examination and their use for the appropriate studies is self-explanatory.
Some codes may have multiple applications and their use is described in notes associated with each code
Codes 00510 to 00560 (Angiography machine codes) may only be used by owners of the equipment and who have registered such equipment with the Board of Healthcare Funders/RSSA.
The machine codes 00510, 00520, 00530, 00540, 00550, 00560 may not be added to 60540, 60550, 70530, 70535 (Antegrade Venography, upper and lower limbs)
Where public sector hospital equipment is used for a procedure, the units will be reduced by 33.33 %.

 

Consumables

Contrast Medium

o Prior to the implementation of Act 90, contrast will be billed according to the official 2004 RSSA reimbursement price list, without mark up.
o After the implementation of Act 90, contrast medium will be billed according to the suppliers' list price, without mark up.
o Angiography catheters, angioplasty balloons, stents, coils and other embolisation materials, guide wires and drains are

 

General Comments on Procedural Codes

o AII x-ray tomography codes are stand alone studies and may be used as a unique study or in combination with the appropriate regional study if done simultaneously. May not be added to 20130, 42110, 42115.
o Setting of sterile tray is included in all appropriate procedure codes.
o Where introduction of contrast is necessary eg. sialography, arthrography, angiography, etc, the codes used for the procedures are comprehensive and include the introduction of contrast or isotopes.
o The use of Doppler or Colour Doppler as an adjunct to a study (eg small parts thyroid) is included in the code for that study.
o CT Angiography (10330, 20330, 32300, 32310, 44300, 44310, 44320, 44330, 60310, 70310, 70320) are stand alone studies and may not be added to the regional contrasted studies (see 10335, 20340, 20350, 44325 for combined studies).
o Angiography and interventional procedures include selective and super selective catheterization of vessels as are necessary to perform the procedures.

Codes 00230 (Ultrasound guidance), 00320 (CT guidance) and 00430 (MR guidance) are stand alone procedures that include the regional study and may not be added to any of the ultrasound, CT or MR regional studies

Call and assistance

 

 

 

 

 

Emergency call out code 01010 only to be used if radiologist is called out to the rooms to report on an examination after normal working hours. May not be used for routine reporting during extended working hours.
Emergency call out code 01020 only to be used when a radiologist reports on subsequent cases after having been called out to the rooms to report an initial after hours procedure. This code may also be used for home tele-radiology reporting of an emergency procedure. May not be used for routine reporting during normal or extended working hours.
Radiologist assistance in theatre code 01030 only to be used if the radiologist is actively involved in assisting another radiologist or clinician with a procedure.
Radiographer assistance in theatre 01040 may not be used for procedures performed in facilities owned by the radiologist; ie only for attendance in hospital theatres etc. Does not apply to Bed Side Unit (BSU) examinations.
Second opinion consultations only to be used if a written report is provided as indicated in codes 01050, 01055, 01060. Not intended for ad hoc verbal consultations.

General

 

 

 

 

 

Code 70100 (stress) is a stand alone study and may not be combined with other codes.

Code 70110 (tomography) may be combined with any one of the defined regional x-ray studies of the lower limb. Motivation may be required for more than one regional tomographic study per visit.

Code 70200 (U/S) may only be billed once per visit.

Code 70300 (CT) limited study - limited to a small region of interest eg part of condyle of the knee.

Codes 70310 and 70320 (CT angiography) may not be combined.

Code 70400 (MR limited) may only be used once per visit.

Code 70410 and 70420 (MR angiography) may not be combined.

The machine codes 00510, 00520, 00530, 00540, 00550, 00560 may not be combined with these codes.

If ultrasound guidance (00230) is used for a procedure which also attracts one of the machine codes (00510, 00520, 00530, 00540, 00550, 00560), it may not be billed for separately.

Codes 80640, 80645, 87682, 87683 include fluoroscopy. Machine fees may not be added.

All other interventional procedures are complete unique procedures describing a whole comprehensive procedure and combinations of different codes will only be supported when motivated.
