In addition, you should report 77002 for the fluoro guidance unless you do a

Indications for MR arthrography of the knee include assessment of the postop

erative meniscus, the presence of chondral and osteochondral lesions, and the presence of intra-articular bodies. The major indication for CT arthrography is evaluating suspected internal derangement in patients who are unable to undergo MRI.

An arthrogram is an X-ray image or picture of the inside of a joint (e.g. sh

oulder, knee, wrist, ankle) after a contrast medium (sometimes referred to as a contrast agent or “dye”) is injected into the joint.

An arthrogram uses imaging equipment to evaluate a joint like the shoulder,

elbow, wrist, hip, knee or ankle. It is a two-part procedure consisting of a contrast injection into the joint, followed by an MRI or CT scan of the joint.. An arthrogram is ordered to:
