CodeDescription
G9534Advanced brain imaging (cta, ct, mra or mri) was not ordered
G9535Patients with a normal neurological examination
G9536Documentation of medical reason(s) for ordering an advanced brain imaging study (i.e., patient has an abnormal neurological examination; patient has the coexistence of seizures, or both; recent onset of severe headache; change in the type of headache; signs of increased intracranial pressure (e.g., papilledema, absent venous pulsations on funduscopic examination, altered mental status, focal neurologic deficits, signs of meningeal irritation); hiv-positive patients with a new type of headache; immunocompromised patient with unexplained headache symptoms; patient on coagulopathy/anti-coagulation or anti-platelet therapy; very young patients with unexplained headache symptoms)
G9537Imaging needed as part of a clinical trial; or other clinician ordered the study
G9538Advanced brain imaging (cta, ct, mra or mri) was ordered
