Wondering how other imaging providers handle Virtual Colonography CT's (VC) that are referred with indications not meeting medical necessity as listed in CMS LCD's.
- If ordered as a diagnostic without meeting medical necessity guidelines, do you move ahead by having patient sign an ABN? or
- Do you contact RP to notify of issue with medical necessity and discuss screening VC options?
I sincerely appreciate your feedback,
