Other Nuclear Imaging Study Of An Endocrine Gland

Florida rates for HCPCS 78099

Covers a nuclear medicine scan of a hormone-producing gland, such as the thyroid, parathyroid or adrenal glands, when the study performed has no standard named entry of its own. A small amount of radioactive tracer is given, and a special camera records where it collects to show how the gland is working or where abnormal tissue lies. Because the exact study varies, the radiologist's report sets out what was done.
