Patient Price Information List
Disclaimer: Integris Baptist Medical Center determines its standard charges for patient items and services through the use of a chargemaster system, which is a list of charges for the components of patient care that go into every patient’s bill. These are the baseline rates for items and services provided at the Hospital. The chargemaster is similar in concept to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (“MSRP”) on a particular product or good. The charges listed provide only a general starting point in determining the potential costs of an individual patient’s care at the Hospital. This list does not reflect the actual out-of-pocket costs that may be paid by a patient for any particular service, it is not binding, and the actual charges for items and services may vary.
Many factors may influence the actual cost of an item or service, including insurance coverage, rates negotiated with payors, and so on. Government payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid for example, do not pay the chargemaster rates, but rather have their own set rates that hospitals are obligated to accept. Commercial insurance payments are based on contract negotiations with payors and may or may not reflect the standard charges. The cost of treatment also may be impacted by variables involved in a patient’s actual care, such as specific equipment or supplies required, the length of time spent in surgery or recovery, additional tests, or any changes in care or unexpected conditions or complications that arise. Moreover, the foregoing list of charges for services only includes charges from the Hospital. It does not reflect the charges for physicians, such as the surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologist, pathologist, or other physician specialists or providers who may be involved in providing particular services to a patient. These charges are billed separately.
Individuals with questions about their out-of-pocket costs of service and other financial information should contact the hospital or consider contacting their insurers for further information.

Gait Training - 15 Minutes
Gait Training - 15 Minutes
Gait training is a therapeutic procedure that observes and educates an individual in the manner of walking including the rhythm, cadence, step, stride, and speed. The objective of gait training is to strengthen muscles and joints, improve balance and posture, and develop muscle memory. As the lower extremities are retrained for repetitive motion, the body also benefits from the exercise with increased endurance, improved heart/lung function, and reduced or improved osteoporosis. Gait training is an appropriate therapeutic procedure following brain and/or spinal cord injury, stroke, fracture of the pelvis and/or lower extremity, joint injury or replacement of the knee, hip, or ankle, amputation, and for certain musculoskeletal and/or neurological diseases. A treadmill fitted with a safety harness is initially used to ensure safe walking. As the patient gains strength and balance, step training and stair climbing is added to the treatment modality.

Physical Therapy, complex evaluation
Physical Therapy, complex evaluation
A physical therapy evaluation or re-evaluation is performed. The physical therapist takes a history of the current complaint including onset of symptoms, comorbidities, changes since the onset, treatment received for the symptoms or condition, medications prescribed for it, and any other medications the patient is taking. A physical examination of body systems is done to assess physical structure and function, any activities or movements that exacerbate the symptoms, limit activity, or restrict participation in movement, as well as anything that helps to relieve the symptoms. The evaluation may involve provocative maneuvers or positions that increase symptoms; tests for joint flexibility and muscle strength; assessments of general mobility, posture, and core strength; evaluation of muscle tone; and tests for restrictions of movement caused by myofascial disorders. Following the history and physical, the therapist determines the patient's clinical presentation characteristics, provides a detailed explanation of the condition, identifies physical therapy treatment options, and explains how often and how long physical therapy modalities should be applied. The physical therapist will then develop a plan of care with clinical decision making based on patient assessment and/or measurable functional outcome. The plan of care may include both physical therapy in the clinic and exercises or changes in the home environment. Upon re-evaluation, the established care plan is reviewed and an interim history is taken requiring the use of standardized tests and measures. The patient's response to treatment is evaluated and the plan of care is revised based on the patient's measurable response.

PT to Re-Educate Brain to Muscle Function (15 min)
PT to Re-Educate Brain to Muscle Function (15 min)
Therapeutic procedures for neuromuscular reeducation are used to develop conscious control of a single muscle or muscle group and heighten the awareness of the body's position in space, especially the position of the extremities when sitting or standing. Neuromuscular reeducation is employed during the recovery or regeneration stage following severe injury or trauma, cerebral vascular accident, or systemic neurological disease. The goal of therapy is improved range of motion (ROM), balance, coordination, posture, and spatial awareness. Techniques may include proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation which uses diagonal contract-relax patterns of skeletal muscles to stimulate receptors in the joints that communicate body position to the brain via motor and sensory nerves. Feldenkrais is a method which observes the patient's habitual movement patterns and teaches new patterns based on efficient active or passive repetitive conditioning. Additional techniques that may be useful for neuromuscular reeducation are Bobath concept, which promotes motor learning and efficient motor control, and biomechanical ankle platform system (BAPS) boards.

Evaluation of Speech Sound Production
Evaluation of Speech Sound Production
Speech sound production disorders affect an individual's ability to communicate. There may be an organic cause for the problem (hearing impairment, cleft lip/palate, cerebral palsy, ankyloglossia) or it may be functional with no known cause. Articulation disorders are characterized by substitution, distortion, omission or addition of sounds and words. Phonological processing disorders are characterized by a set pattern of sound errors. Although small mistakes are common and normal in young children who are developing language skills, when articulation disorders persist past the age of 8 or phonological processing mistakes continue past the age of 5, an evaluation by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) that includes an audiogram to assess hearing, formal and informal observation of speech and standardized testing with tools such as the Clinical Assessment of Articulation and Phonology (CAAP) is typically performed. Verbal apraxia is a condition in which an individual who does not have a diagnosed weakness or paralysis of the speech muscles has difficulty stating what he/she wants to communicate correctly and consistently. Acquired verbal apraxia can occur at any age and is due to changes in an area of the brain. Stroke, head injury, tumor or illness/infection can cause this type of change. Developmental verbal apraxia is present from birth. It can manifest as an overall language disorder or a neurologic disorder affecting signals to and movement of the muscles involved with speech. There may be a genetic link to developmental apraxia as it is often occurs in multiple family members. Dysarthria is a speech disturbance that may be caused by a brain injury or by paralysis, spasticity or lack of coordination of the speech muscles. Evaluation by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) typically includes an audiogram to assess hearing (reported separately), formal and informal observation of speech and assessment using standardized testing tools such as Screening Test for Developmental Apraxia of Speech.

Evaluation of Speech Sound Production and Language Comprehenson
Evaluation of Speech Sound Production and Language Comprehenson
Disorders of speech sound production that relate to language comprehension and expression usually manifest before the age of 4 years. Mixed language disorder (receptive and expressive) may be due to brain injury, developmental problems such as autistic spectrum disorders, hearing loss and learning disorders. In receptive language disorders an individual will have problems understanding what has been said, following directions and organizing thoughts. Expressive language disorders can manifest with difficulty putting words together to form coherent sentences, word finding and the use of placeholder words such as ôumö, decreased vocabulary for age, leaving out words when speaking, improper use of tenses (past, present, future) and repetition (echoing) of phrases. Evaluation by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) should include an audiogram to assess hearing (reported separately), formal and informal observation and assessment using standardized testing tools such as Receptive-Expressive Emergent Language Test (REEL).

Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy
A speech-language pathologist treats a speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory processing disorder. Using the information obtained from a separately reportable screening and in-depth evaluation of a speech or language disorder, the clinician develops an individualized treatment plan for the patient. The clinician defines specific treatment goals and sets baseline measures with which to assess the patient's progress. These goals are continuously monitored and fine-tuned throughout the treatment period. Once the goals and baseline measures have been established the clinician uses a number of intervention activities to correct the specific speech or language disorder identified. These can include games, stories, rhymes, drills, and other tasks. If the patient has a speech disorder, the clinician may demonstrate the sounds and have the patient copy the way the clinician moves the lips, mouth, and tongue to make the right sound. A mirror may be used so that the patient can practice making the sound while observing himself or herself in the mirror. Treatment of a language disorder might include help with grammar. If the patient is having difficulty with auditory processing, a game like Simon Says might be used to help improve understanding of verbal instructions.

Swallow Evaluation
Swallow Evaluation
An evaluation of the oral and pharyngeal phase of the swallowing function is performed in a patient who is suspected of having oropharyngeal dysphagia. The initial evaluation is typically performed by a dysphagia specialist, usually a speech-language pathologist. This evaluation is performed to determine whether more extensive studies are warranted. Swallowing function is divided into oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases. The oral and pharyngeal phases are made up of oral preparation for solid foods (not required for liquids or pureed foods), oral transfer, and initiation of the swallow. Both oral and pharyngeal movements are necessary in preparing, transferring, and swallowing food. The patient is given both solids and liquids to swallow. During oral preparation of solid food the ability of the tongue to move the food from side-to-side so that the solid can be chewed and prepared for swallowing is evaluated. Once the solid food is prepared and transferred to the back of the throat, the swallowing movements are evaluated. Propelling solids or liquids requires a complex set of movements including retraction of the base of the tongue, elevation of the hyolarynx, closure of the velopharyngeus, contraction of the pharynx, opening of the upper esophageal sphincter, and closure of the airway. The speech-language pathologist observes the patient to determine whether solids and liquids are being prepared, transferred, and propelled from the pharynx into the esophagus. A written report of findings is provided.

Bilirubin Level; Total
Bilirubin Level; Total
A laboratory test is performed to measure total or direct bilirubin. Bilirubin is a pigmented waste product normally produced when red blood cells (RBCs) break down. Non-water soluble (unconjugated) bilirubin is carried on albumin to the liver where it attaches to sugar molecules to become conjugated. Conjugated (direct) bilirubin is water soluble and able to pass from the liver to the small intestine. Further breakdown of bilirubin occurs in the small intestine and it is eventually eliminated in the feces in the form of stercobilin. Total bilirubin is the sum of conjugated (direct) and unconjugated bilirubin. A test for either conjugated or direct bilirubin or total bilirubin may be ordered to diagnose and monitor liver disorders, hemolytic anemia, and newborn (physiologic) jaundice. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture or heel stick. Other body fluids, including cerebral spinal fluid, may be collected and tested for total bilirubin. Serum/plasma is tested using quantitative spectrophotometry.

Blood Potassium Level
A blood sample is obtained to measure potassium level. Potassium is a positively charged electrolyte that works in conjunction with other electrolytes, such as sodium, chloride, and carbon dioxide (CO2), to regulate body fluid, stimulate muscle contraction, and maintain proper acid-base balance. Potassium is found in all body fluids but mostly stored within cells, not in extracellular fluids, blood serum, or plasma. Small fluctuations in blood potassium, either too high (hyperkalemia) or too low (hypokalemia), can have serious, even life-threatening, consequences. Potassium level is used to screen for and monitor renal disease; monitor patients on certain medications, such as diuretics, as well as patients with acute and chronic conditions, such as dehydration or endocrine disorders. Because blood potassium affects heart rhythm and respiratory rate, it is routinely checked prior to major surgical procedures. Potassium is measured by ion-selective electrode (ISE) methodology.

A blood specimen is tested to determine blood type (ABO) or Rh(D). Blood is grouped using an ABO blood typing system which identifies four blood types: type A, B, AB, or O. The blood sample is mixed with antibodies against Type A and B blood and then checked to determine if the blood cells agglutinate, or stick together. Type A blood has anti-B antibodies; type B blood has anti-A antibodies; type O blood has antibodies to both A and B; and type AB blood does not have anti-A or anti-B antibodies. Type A blood agglutinates when type B antibodies are introduced. Type B blood agglutinates when type A antibodies are introduced. Type O blood agglutinates when type A or B antibodies are introduced. Type AB blood does not agglutinate when type A or B antibodies are introduced. The blood is then back typed. Blood serum is mixed with blood that is known to be type A or B.

A baseline level is usually obtained following a cancer diagnosis. Serial testing is done to monitor treatment and response to therapy. Elevated levels of CEA have also been noted in smokers and in patients diagnosed with inflammatory disorders, cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, rectal polyps, emphysema, and benign breast disease. CEA testing should not be used for screening in the general population. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is obtained by separately reportable lumbar puncture. Pleural and peritoneal fluids are obtained by needle aspiration. Serum/plasma and body fluids are tested using quantitative electrochemiluminescent immunoassay.

Cholesterol Level
Cholesterol Level
A laboratory test is performed to measure total cholesterol in serum or whole blood. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like steroid substance present in the cell membranes of all body tissues and organs. The majority of cholesterol is produced intrinsically by the body and a small amount is ingested from food sources. Cholesterol is an important component of hormones that regulate growth, development, and reproduction. It also forms bile acids that are necessary for digestion of food and nutrient absorption. Elevated cholesterol may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Certain individuals may have a genetically inherited risk for elevated cholesterol. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture or fingerstick. Serum/plasma and whole blood are tested using quantitative enzymatic method.

Complete Blood Count
Complete Blood Count
An automated complete blood count (CBC) is performed with or without automated differential white blood cell (WBC) count. A CBC is used as a screening test to evaluate overall health and symptoms such as fatigue, bruising, bleeding, and inflammation, or to help diagnose infection. A CBC includes measurement of hemoglobin (Hgb) and hematocrit (Hct), red blood cell (RBC) count, white blood cell (WBC) count with or without differential, and platelet count. Hgb measures the amount of oxygen-carrying protein in the blood. Hct refers to the volume of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a given volume of blood and is usually expressed as a percentage of total blood volume. RBC count is the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a specific volume of blood. WBC count is the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) in a specific volume of blood. There are five types of WBCs: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes. If a differential is performed, each of the five types is counted separately. Platelet count is the number of platelets (thrombocytes) in the blood. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. The CBC is performed with an automated blood cell counting instrument that can also be programmed to provide an automated WBC differential count.

Creatine Kinase
Creatine Kinase
Creatine kinase (CK) also known as, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), is an enzyme found in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle and certain other tissue. The subtypes are known as CK-MM found primarily in skeletal and heart muscle, CK-MB found in heart muscle and CK-BB located in the brain. CK circulating in blood rarely contains CK-BB but is largely comprised of CK-MM or CK-MB. Levels may be elevated following heart muscle damage (heart attack/myocardial infarction) and skeletal muscle injury (trauma, vigorous exercise). Statin drugs that lower cholesterol level and alcohol intake may cause elevated CK blood levels. A blood test is performed to measure total creatine kinase (CK) levels. A blood specimen is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. Serum or plasma is tested using quantitative enzymatic methodology.

Creatinine Level to Test for Kidney Function
Creatinine Level to Test for Kidney Function
A sample other than blood is taken to measure creatinine levels. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles in the breakdown of creatine, which is a compound used by the muscles to create energy for contraction. The waste product, creatinine, is excreted by the kidneys and blood levels provide a good measurement of renal function. Creatinine may be checked to screen for or monitor treatment of renal disease. Creatinine levels may also be monitored in patients with acute or chronic illnesses that may impair renal function and in patients on medications that affect renal function. Creatinine clearance, also known as urea or urea nitrogen clearance tests both blood and urine samples for a calculation of creatinine content adjusted for urine volume and physical size as a general indicator of glomerular filtration function.

Detection Test for Hepatitis B
Detection Test for Hepatitis B
A laboratory test is performed to detect Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) in serum/plasma by any immunoassay technique such as enzyme immunoassay (EIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and immunochemiluminometric assay (IMCA). The Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) neutralization test (87341) is used to confirm a positive HBsAg test. The Hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) test is used to monitor an active HBV infection and response to therapy. The presence of HBeAg in a sample indicates active HBV replication. Viral infectivity is based on both HBeAg and HBsAg activity. Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. An individual with chronic HBV infection has an increased risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV may be transmitted in blood and body fluids between sexual partners, from mother to infant, and through contaminated objects such as needles, razors, and toothbrushes. The virus may cause fever, fatigue, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea/vomiting, and joint pain, or it may be asymptomatic. A serum or plasma sample is obtained and placed in a fixative or sent fresh to the laboratory for processing. Both EIA and ELISA detect very small quantities of the antigen when bound to its specific antibody in a sample by adding a secondary, enzyme-labeled antibody to detect its presence. A chromogenic reaction of the enzyme produces a visible color change or fluorescence. Qualitative and semi-quantitative measures are assessed by the colorimetric reading. Immunochemiluminometric assay uses the reaction of antibodies labeled with a chemiluminescent substance to identify and quantify the bound antigen-antibody complex by light emission.

Detection Test for Hepatitis C Virus; Includes Reverse Transcription
Detection Test for Hepatitis C Virus; Includes Reverse Transcription
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes inflammation of the liver. Individuals infected with HCV often develop chronic hepatitis C which can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Nucleic acid detection of HCV is performed to evaluate whether a patient has an ongoing or chronic HCV infection. DNA or RNA probing detects much lower levels of the infectious agent, sometimes even the presence of a single organism. Probing involves identifying the infectious agent's nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) by releasing it from the cell and extracting it through nucleic acid hybridization using a probe. A direct probe consists of laboratory-prepared, complimentary strands of nucleic acid, often labeled with chemical fluorescence, specifically designed to align and bind with the target nucleic acid to form stable, double-stranded complexes or hybrids. Amplified probing provides greater sensitivity for more direct, qualitative detection by using techniques such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to enzymatically replicate certain target sequences or positions in the nucleic acid which allows exponential amplification of the original target nucleic acid. An amplification primer is used in addition to the probe. Primers are artificial, short strands of nucleic acid complementary to the beginning or end of the nucleic acid fragment to be amplified. The primer adheres to the target nucleic acid at these points. The polymerase enzyme copies the region and builds the new nucleic acid. Following amplification, the amount of the infectious agent in the sample may be evaluated using reverse transcription and quantification. Quantification is performed to evaluate the severity of the infection and response to treatment.

Electrolyte Panel
Electrolyte Panel
"An electrolyte panel is obtained to detect problems with fluid and electrolyte balance and monitor the health status of persons with acute or chronic medical conditions including high blood pressure, heart failure, and kidney or liver disease. The test measures electrically charged minerals such as sodium, potassium, and chloride found in body tissues and blood. Sodium is primarily found outside cells and maintains water balance in the tissues, as well as nerve and muscle function. Potassium is primarily found inside cells and affects heart rhythm, cell metabolism, and muscle function. Chloride moves freely in and out of cells to regulate fluid levels and help maintain electrical neutrality. Carbon dioxide, or bicarbonate, maintains body pH and the acid/base balance of the blood. A test called an ""anion gap"" may be included in the electrolyte panel. Anion gap is a calculated value of the test components that measures the difference between the negatively charged ions (anions) and the positivity charged ions (cations). Anion gap values can be affected by many conditions such as metabolic disorders, starvation, and diabetes, or exposure to toxins. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture, heel or finger stick. Serum/plasma is tested using quantitative ion-selective electrode/enzymatic method."

Gammaglobulin Measurement
A test is performed to measure immunoglobin levels in the blood or other body fluids, such as saliva or cerebral spinal fluid. Immunoglobins, also referred to as antibodies, are evaluated to help diagnose a variety of conditions including autoimmune diseases, allergies, or malignant neoplasms such as multiple myeloma or macroglobulinemia. In addition, immunoglobulin levels may be evaluated in patients with frequent infections to determine if there is a low level of immunoglobulin IgG. Immunoglobulins are also evaluated in patients with cancer or H. pylori infection to determine the effectiveness of treatment. There are five major types of antibodies. IgA antibodies are found in the nose, respiratory and digestive tracts, ears, eyes, and vagina. IgA protects the body surfaces from outside foreign substances. IgD is found in tissues lining the abdominal and thoracic cavity. IgE is found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes and reacts to substances commonly associated with allergies, such as food, pollen, dander, dust, fungus spores, etc. High levels of IgE are associated with allergies. IgG is found in all body fluids and is important in fighting bacterial and viral infections. There are four subclasses of IgG, designated as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. These different subclasses protect against different types of infection. For example IgG1 is particularly effective in protecting the body from viral proteins, whereas IgG2 is more effective against certain types of bacterial infections. Individuals may have selective IgG subclass deficiencies characterized by low levels of one or two IgG subclasses with normal total IgG. IgM is found in blood and lymph and is important in fighting infection. A blood specimen is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture, a CSF sample is obtained by separately reportable spinal puncture, or saliva is collected. The methodology used to test immunoglobulin levels is dependent on the type of specimen and the immunoglobulin being tested.

Hepatitis B Antibody Measurement
A blood sample is tested for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAB). Hepatitis B is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and has an acute and chronic phase. The core antibody is produced during and after an acute HBV infection, even in individuals who have cleared the virus without developing a chronic infection, and also during the chronic phase. In 86704, total HBcAB is tested using chemiluminescent assay. Both IgG and IgM antibodies are identified in a single test that does not differentiate between the two. Since IgM antibody is found in the initial phase of the infection and IgG in the later phase, this test is not specific to the acute or chronic phase of the infection.

Albumin (ALB) is a protein made by the liver that helps to nourish tissue and transport hormones, vitamins, drugs, and calcium throughout the body. Bilirubin, a waste product from the breakdown of red blood cells, is removed by the liver in a conjugated state. Bilirubin is measured as total (all the bilirubin circulating in the blood) and direct (the conjugated amount only) to determine how well the liver is performing. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme produced by the liver and other organs of the body. In the liver, cells along the bile duct produce ALP. Blockage of these ducts can cause elevated levels of ALP, whereas cirrhosis, cancer, and toxic drugs will decrease ALP levels. Circulating blood proteins include albumin (60% of total) and globulins (40% of total). By measuring total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB), the albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio can be determined and monitored. TP may decrease with malnutrition, congestive heart failure, hepatic disease, and renal disease and increase with inflammation and dehydration. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT, SGPT) is an enzyme produced primarily in the liver and kidneys. In healthy individuals ALT is normally low. ALT is released when the liver is damaged, especially with exposure to toxic substances such as drugs and alcohol. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT) is an enzyme produced by the liver, heart, kidneys, and muscles. In healthy individuals AST is normally low. An AST/ALT ratio is often performed to determine if elevated levels are due to liver injury or damage to the heart or skeletal muscles. A specimen is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. Serum/plasma is tested using quantitative enzymatic method or quantitative spectrophotometry.

Microsomal Antibodies Measurement
Microsomal Antibodies Measurement
A blood test is performed to identify the presence of microsomal antibodies (thyroid or liver-kidney). Microsomes are located inside of cells in the thyroid, liver, and kidney. When these cells are damaged, microsomes are released, and the body produces antibodies to the microsomes in response to the damage. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture and tested for the presence of the microsomal antibodies. For the thyroid, the test is done to confirm thyroid problems, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, cancer, or nontoxic nodular goiter. For liver-kidney microsome antibody, semiquantitative indirect fluorescence or semiquantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is done to determine cell damage, such as with autoimmune hepatitis type 2 (AIH-2).

Parathormone
Parathormone
A blood or tissue test is performed to measure parathormone (parathyroid hormone, parathyrin) levels. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced by chief cells in the parathyroid gland. The hormone helps to regulate blood calcium levels, absorption/excretion of phosphate by the kidneys and in Vitamin D synthesis in the body. Elevated levels (hyperparathyroidism) may be caused by parathyroid gland tumors or chronic renal failure. Decreased levels (hypoparathyroidism) may result from inadvertent removal (during thyroid gland surgery), autoimmune disorders or genetic inborn errors of metabolism. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. Parathyroid gland tissue is obtained by separately reportable fine needle aspirate. Serum/plasma or tissue sample are tested using quantitative electrochemiluminescent immunoassay. Plasma is tested for parathyroid hormone, CAP (Cyclase Activating Parathyroid Hormone) using immunoradiometric assay.

Pathology Examination of Tissue with Microscope
Pathology Examination of Tissue with Microscope
Tissue removed during a surgical procedure, such as a biopsy, excision, or resection, is examined macroscopically (gross or visual examination) and then under a microscope. The cells, tissues, or organ are transported from the surgical suite to the pathologist. The pathologist first visually examines the specimen and notes any defining characteristics. The specimen is then prepared for microscopic evaluation. The physician carefully analyzes the specimens to help establish a diagnosis, identify the presence or absence of malignant neoplasm, identify the exact type malignancy if present, examine the margins of the specimen to determine whether or not the entire diseased area was removed. A written report of findings is then prepared and a copy sent to the treating physician. Pathology services are reported based on the type of tissue examined, whether or not the tissue is expected to be normal or diseased, the difficulty of the pathology exam, and the time required to complete the exam.

Phenobarbital Level
Phenobarbital Level
A blood test is performed to measure phenobarbital levels. Phenobarbital, also known as Luminal, is an anticonvulsant/hypnotic prescribed to treat seizures and insomnia by decreasing electrical activity in the brain. The drug may be administered orally or by injection. Blood concentration levels are monitored at regular intervals and also when breakthrough seizure activity or over sedation occurs, indicating possible high/low therapeutic blood levels. A blood sample is obtained by a separately reportable venipuncture. Blood serum is then tested using high performance liquid chromatography.

Phenytoin Level
Phenytoin Level
A blood test is performed to measure phenytoin total and phenytoin free levels. Phenytoin also known as Dilantin, Phenytek or Prompt, is an anticonvulsant prescribed to treat seizures and works by deceasing electrical activity in the brain. The drug may be administered orally or by injection. Phenytoin has a narrow therapeutic range and the patient should be monitored for both total and free phenytoin levels. Total phenytoin reflects the total serum concentration of the drug while free phenytoin levels reflect the unbound levels. Only the unbound levels are biologically active. Ninety (90) percent of the drug is typically highly bound and biologically inactive, but bound phenytoin is sensitive to displacement by other protein binding drugs which can elevate levels of free phenytoin in the blood. Blood concentration levels are monitored at regular intervals and also when breakthrough seizures occur, indicating possible low therapeutic levels. A blood sample is obtained by a separately reportable venipuncture. Blood serum is then tested using immunoassay.

Prothrombin Time
Prothrombin Time
Prothrombin time (PT) measures how long it takes for blood to clot. Prothrombin, also called factor II, is one of the clotting factors made by the liver and adequate levels of vitamin K are needed for the liver to produce sufficient prothrombin. Prothrombin time is used to help identify the cause of abnormal bleeding or bruising; to check whether blood thinning medication, such as warfarin (Coumadin), is working; to check for low levels of blood clotting factors I, II, V, VII, and X; to check for low levels of vitamin K; to check liver function, to see how quickly the body is using up its clotting factors. The test is performed using electromagnetic mechanical clot detection. If prothrombin time is elevated and the patient is not on a blood thinning medication, a second prothrombin time using substitution plasma fractions, also referred to as a prothrombin time mixing study, may be performed. This is performed by mixing patient plasma with normal plasma using a 1:1 mix. The mixture is incubated and the clotting time is again measured. If the result does not correct, it may be indicative that the patient has an inhibitor, such as lupus anticoagulant. If the result does correct, the patient may have a coagulation factor deficiency.

Red Blood Count, Automated Test
Red Blood Count, Automated Test
An automated reticulocyte count is performed. Reticulocytes are new red blood cells (RBCs) that circulate in the peripheral blood for 1-2 days before losing sufficient RNA to become mature RBCs. A reticulocyte count may be performed when a blood test shows decreased RBCs and/or decreased hemoglobin or hematocrit measurements. The test can help determine if the bone marrow is responding to the body's need for RBCs. Indications for monitoring reticulocytes include vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, kidney disease, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, and treatment with erythropoietin or darbepoetin. A blood sample is obtained. A reticulocyte count is performed with an automated blood cell counting instrument. Automated reticulocyte count performed alone is reported. When automated reticulocyte count is performed with direct measurement of one or more cellular parameters, such as reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), mean reticulocyte volume (MRV), or RNA content is reported. CHr measures the amount of hemoglobin in reticulocytes, which is an indicator of iron utilization for RBC production, and is used to diagnosis iron deficiency. IRF is used to determine whether reticulocytes are being released prematurely and to quantify the proportion of immature reticulocytes. Premature release occurs during periods of high demand for RBCs in chronic kidney disease, following chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant, or in patients with AIDs or malignant disease, as well as other conditions. IRF is calculated as a ratio of immature reticulocytes to the total number of reticulocytes (both immature and mature). MRV looks at the total volume of reticulocytes compared to total red blood cells and is used to evaluate iron utilization. RNA content is evaluated to determine the maturity of circulating reticulocytes.

Screening Test for Autoimmune Disorder
Screening Test for Autoimmune Disorder
A blood sample is obtained to screen for the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) or to measure the concentration of antinuclear antibody in the blood, which is referred to as an ANA titer. Antinuclear antibodies are auto-antibodies that bind to structures within the nucleus of cells. Auto-antibodies are a type of antibody that is directed against the body's own tissues. The presence and concentration of antinuclear antibodies may indicate one of several autoimmune disorders that cause inflammation of body tissues including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjorgren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyositis, scleroderma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, juvenile diabetes mellitus, Addison disease, vitiligo, pernicious anemia, glomerulonephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis. When testing for antinuclear antibodies, the specimen is typically screened first using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) If the screening test is positive, that is if antinuclear antibodies are detected, a titer is then obtained. An antinuclear antibody titer is performed by diluting the blood sample with increasing amounts of a saline solution and retesting until antinuclear antibodies are no longer detectable. ANA titer is expressed as 1:10, 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, etc, with the 1 indicating 1 part blood and the second number indicating the parts of saline solution. A higher second number indicates a higher concentration of antinuclear antibodies in the blood.

Test for Influenza Virus
Test for Influenza Virus
A quick test to detect influenza (Type A or B) by immunoassay with direct optical observation is performed. It is a rapid, qualitative test performed using lateral flow immunoassay. Influenza is an acute, highly contagious, viral upper respiratory infection. There are three types of influenza viruses delineated as Type A, B, or C with Type A being the most severe and prevalent type. Type B is generally less severe. Type C is the least common and is not associated with large human epidemics. Type A and B can both be detected by a rapid test. A nasal or nasopharyngeal swab is obtained. Alternatively nasal wash or aspirate may be used. The specimen is placed in a tube containting an extraction reagent that disrupts the virus particles in the specimen and exposes viral nucleoproteins. A test strip is then inserted into the tube. If the influenza virus being tested (Type A or B) is present, a line on the test strip will change color along with a control line.

Tuberculosis Test
Tuberculosis Test
This test is performed on individuals suspected of having or being at high risk for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection. This test measures cell mediated immunity (CMI) antigen response to stimulation with TB-specific proteins. Two proteins, early-secreted antigenic target 6-kDa protein (ESAT-6) and culture filtrate protein (CFP-10), are used in CMI antigen response tests for TB. Individuals with TB infection have lymphocytes in their blood that recognize these proteins. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. The blood sample is stimulated with ESAT-6 and CFP-10. If the blood sample reacts to these proteins, which is indicated by the secretion of cytokine interferon gamma, the test is positive for TB. Cytokines are hormone-like proteins secreted by cells that regulate the intensity and duration of immune response. Both the presence and amount of cytokine interferon gamma present in the blood sample are used for diagnosis of TB.

Urinalysis with Examination, using Microscope
Urinalysis with Examination, using Microscope
A urinalysis is performed by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, and/or urobilinogen. Urinalysis can quickly screen for conditions that do not immediately produce symptoms such as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, or urinary tract infection. A dip stick allows qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis using a paper or plastic stick with color strips for each agent being tested. The stick is dipped in the urine specimen and the color strips are then compared to a color chart to determine the presence or absence and/or a rough estimate of the concentration of each agent tested. Reagent tablets use an absorbent mat with a few drops of urine placed on the mat followed by a reagent tablet. A drop of distilled, deionized water is then placed on the tablet and the color change is observed. Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells by the liver. Normally bilirubin is excreted through the bowel, but in patients with liver disease, bilirubin is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. Glucose is a sugar that is normally filtered by the glomerulus and excreted only in small quantities in the urine. Excess sugar in the urine (glycosuria) is indicative of diabetes mellitus. The peroxidase activity of erythrocytes is used to detect hemoglobin in the urine which may be indicative of hematuria, myoglobinuria, or hemoglobinuria. Ketones in the urine are the result of diabetic ketoacidosis or calorie deprivation (starvation). A leukocyte esterase test identifies the presence of white blood cells in the urine. The presence of nitrites in the urine is indicative of bacteria. The pH identifies the acid-base levels in the urine. The presence of excessive amounts of protein (proteinuria) may be indicative of nephrotic syndrome. Specific gravity measures urine density and is indicative of the kidneys' ability to concentrate and dilute urine. Following dip stick or reagent testing, the urine sample may be examined under a microscope. The urine sample is placed in a test tube and centrifuged. The sediment is resuspended. A drop of the resuspended sediment is then placed on a glass slide, cover-slipped, and examined under a microscope for crystals, casts, squamous cells, blood (white, red) cells, and bacteria.

Urine Sodium Level
Urine Sodium Level
A urine sample is obtained to measure sodium level. Sodium is a positively charged electrolyte that works in conjunction with other electrolytes, such as potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide (CO2), to regulate fluid in the body and maintain proper acid-base balance. Sodium is an essential mineral in the body, necessary for maintaining normal metabolic processes, fluid levels, and vascular pressure. Sodium level is used to screen for and monitor elevated blood sodium (hypernatremia), low blood sodium (hyponatremia), and electrolyte imbalances. Sodium may be monitored in patients on certain medications, such as diuretics, that can cause electrolyte imbalance. Sodium is measured by ion-selective electrode (ISE) methodology.

Valproic Acid Level
Valproic Acid Level
A laboratory test is performed to measure valproic acid (dipropylacetic acid, depakote). Valproic acid is an anticonvulsant that may be used to treat seizure disorders, manic phase of bipolar disorders, and migraine headaches. The drug works by changing certain chemicals neurotransmitters in the brain. The test for total valproic acid can be used to monitor drug therapy, assess patient compliance, and evaluate for potential toxicity. The test for free valproic acid may be used to evaluate the cause of toxicity when the total valproic acid concentration is within the normal range. Free valproic acid may be elevated in patients with an altered or unpredictable protein binding capacity. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture just prior to medication administration to obtain the trough level. Serum/plasma is tested for total valproic acid using fluorescence polarization immunoassay and for free valproic acid using quantitative enzyme multiplied immunoassay.

Vancomycin Level
Vancomycin Level
A blood test is performed to measure vancomycin levels at random, peak and trough times. Vancomycin, also known as Vancocin is a glycopeptide antibiotic prescribed to treat severe or serious bacterial infections. For systemic infections it is administered by intravenous infusion. For intestinal infections such as colitis or clostridium difficile it is taken orally. Blood level monitoring is necessary because the drug has the potential to cause auditory toxicity. A random sample may be drawn any time, peak and trough levels are time dependant and are usually drawn 24 hours after initiating therapy and every 2-3 days thereafter. A trough level is drawn 10 minutes prior to intravenous infusion. A peak level is drawn 1-2 hours after intravenous infusion is complete. A blood sample is obtained by separately reportable venipuncture. Blood serum is then tested using fluorescence polarization immunoassay.

Attempt to Restart Heart and Lungs
Attempt to Restart Heart and Lungs
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a manual attempt at restarting a patient's heart and lungs when cardiopulmonary arrest occurs. Typically led by a health care provided certified in CPR, the lungs are filled with air by holding the nose and breathing through the mouth or performed with a ventilating bag. Chest compressions are also performed at intervals, alternating with the air in the lungs. A defibrillator may be used to shock the heart into starting.

Injection Beneath the Skin for Therapy, Diagnosis, or Prevention
Injection Beneath the Skin for Therapy, Diagnosis, or Prevention
A subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic substance or drug is given. A subcutaneous injection is administered just under the skin in the fatty tissue of the abdomen, upper arm, upper leg, or buttocks. The skin is cleansed. A two-inch fold of skin is pinched between the thumb and forefinger. The needle is inserted completely under the skin at a 45 to 90 degree angle using a quick, sharp thrust. The plunger is retracted to check for blood. If blood is present, a new site is selected. If no blood is present, the medication is injected slowly into the tissue. The needle is withdrawn and mild pressure is applied. An intramuscular injection is administered in a similar fashion deep into muscle tissue, differing only in the sites of administration and the angle of needle insertion. Common sites include the gluteal muscles of the buttocks, the vastus lateralis muscle of the thigh, or the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The angle of insertion is 90 degrees. Intramuscular administration provides rapid systemic absorption and can be used for administration of relatively large doses of medication.

Sleep Monitoring with CPAP
Sleep Monitoring with CPAP
Polysomnography is performed with sleep staging by a sleep technologist. Sleep studies are performed to evaluate and diagnose a variety of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep walking, restless leg syndrome, and other periodic movements during sleep. The patient presents to the sleep study center in the evening. Sleep staging is accomplished using electroencephalography (EEG), electro-oculogram (EOG), and electromyogram (EMG). EEG is performed using one to four electrodes attached to the scalp. Electrodes are attached around the eyes and an EOG performed to monitor eye movement. A submental EMG is performed by placing an electrode under the chin to record muscle tone. One or more additional parameters of sleep are recorded and analyzed including: heart rate and rhythm; airflow; ventilation and respiratory effort; gas exchange by oximetry, transcutaneous monitoring, or end tidal gas analysis; extremity muscle activity or motor activity-movement; extended EEG monitoring; penile tumescence; gastroesophageal reflux; continuous blood pressure monitoring; snoring; and/or body position. The room is darkened and brain activity, eye and muscle movement are recorded. Other parameters of sleep are monitored and recorded as needed. The physician analyzes the recorded data obtained during the polysomnography and provides a written interpretation of the test results. If CPAP is performed a nasal mask is applied to the nose to keep the airway open during inhalation. If bi-level ventilation is performed, a ventilator is used to augment respiration while still allowing spontaneous unassisted respiration.

Vaccine Injection for Pneumococcal Polysaccharide
Vaccine Injection for Pneumococcal Polysaccharide
Unlike immune globulins which provide short-term, passive immunity, a vaccine provides active, long-term immunity by exposing the recipient's immune system to altered versions of specific viruses or bacteria that induce the immune system to produce its own antibodies against the invading micro-organism. The body then remembers how to make antibodies when exposed to the antigen again. The pneumococcal bacteria exist in many people's noses and throats without causing disease, but when it invades the body, it can cause pneumococcal pneumonia, bacteremia, and meningitis. Children under five, the elderly, and the immune suppressed are most susceptible. Pneumococcal disease is the leading cause of death from vaccine-preventable disease in the U.S.

Thoracic Gas Volume
Thoracic Gas Volume
Lung volume plethysmography is performed to determine the maximum volume of air that the lungs can hold. The test is performed in a small airtight room called a body box. Clips are placed on the nose to prevent air from entering the nostrils. The patient then breathes and/or pants into a mouthpiece that is in an open position. If airway resistance is measured, the patient then breathes and/or pants into a closed mouthpiece. As the chest moves during breathing or panting, the pressure and amount of air in the room and against the mouthpiece is measured. Changes in these variables allow the physician to measure lung volume with an open mouthpiece and airway resistance with a closed mouthpiece. The physician analyzes the test results and provides a written report of findings.

Mucosal surfaces of the colon are inspected and any abnormalities are noted. The endoscope is then withdrawn and mucosal surfaces are again inspected for ulcerations, varices, bleeding sites, lesions, strictures, or other abnormalities. Any suspect site(s) to be biopsied is identified and biopsy forceps are placed through the biopsy channel in the endoscope. The forceps are opened, the tissue is spiked, and the forceps are closed. The biopsied tissue is then removed through the endoscope. One or more tissue samples may be obtained and are sent for separately reportable laboratory analysis.

An upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopic examination, also referred to as an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is performed on the esophagus, stomach, duodenum and/or jejunum with biopsy(s). The mouth and throat are numbed using an anesthetic spray. A hollow mouthpiece is placed in the mouth. The flexible fiberoptic endoscope is then inserted and advanced as it is swallowed by the patient. Once the endoscope has been advanced beyond the cricopharyngeal region, it is guided using direct visualization. The esophagus is inspected and any abnormalities are noted. The endoscope is then advanced beyond the gastroesophageal junction into the stomach and the stomach is insufflated with air. The cardia, fundus, greater and lesser curvature, and antrum are inspected and any abnormalities are noted. The tip of the endoscope is then advanced through the pylorus and into the duodenum and/or jejunum where mucosal surfaces are inspected for any abnormalities. Single or multiple samples of suspect tissue are taken through the scope. The endoscope is withdrawn and mucosal surfaces are again inspected for ulcerations, varices, bleeding sites, lesions, strictures, or other abnormalities.

Gallbladder Removal Using an Endoscope
Gallbladder Removal Using an Endoscope
The gallbladder is removed by laparoscopic technique. A small portal incision is made at the navel and a trocar is inserted. The scope and video camera are then inserted at this site. The abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide. Two to three additional abdominal portal incisions are made and trocars are inserted for placing surgical instruments. The gallbladder is identified. If the gallbladder is distended, a needle may be used to drain bile from the gallbladder. Grasper clamps are applied. The Hartmann's pouch is identified and retracted, exposing the triangle of Calot. The cystic artery and cystic duct are identified. The cystic duct is dissected free and transected. The cystic artery is dissected free, ligated, and doubly divided. Electrocautery is used to dissect the gallbladder off the liver bed. The gallbladder is placed in an extraction sac and removed from the abdomen through one of the small incisions.

The mouth is opened and any dentures are removed. A laryngoscope is passed into the hypopharynx and the glottis and vocal cords are visualized. A properly sized endotracheal tube is selected and the balloon is inflated. A stylet is inserted into the endotracheal tube and the tube and stylet are bent into a crescent shape. The endotracheal tube and stylet are inserted alongside the laryngoscope into the trachea and positioned with the balloon lying just beyond the vocal cords. The stylet is removed and the endotracheal tube is connected to the ventilation device and secured with tape. Breath sounds are checked using a stethoscope to ensure that the endotracheal tube is properly positioned.

Insertion of Central Venous Catheter
Insertion of Central Venous Catheter
A tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter (CVC) with a subcutaneous port is placed. A CVC must terminate in the subclavian, brachiocephalic, or iliac veins, the superior or inferior vena cava, or right atrium. A tunneled CVC is placed through a subcutaneous tunnel into the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein or the inferior vena cava with the most common venous access site for tunneled devices being the jugular vein. Separately reportable imaging guidance may be used to access the venous entry site and/or to manipulate the catheter tip to the final central position. Local anesthesia is administered at the planned puncture site. Using a Seldinger technique to access the jugular vein, the skin and vein are punctured with a needle. A guidewire is inserted through the needle and advanced several centimeters. A subcutaneous pocket is then created for placement of the port. A subcutaneous tunnel is created from the venous access site to the subcutaneous pocket. An introducer sheath and dilator are advanced over the guidewire and the guidewire and dilator removed. The catheter is then advanced through the tunnel to the introducer sheath in the jugular vein and into the brachiocephalic vein, subclavian vein, superior vena cava or right atrium. Placement is checked by separately reportable radiographs. The catheter and port are connected and the port is placed in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision over the venous access site is closed. The port is sutured into place and the pocket is closed.

Removal of Polyps in Large Bowel, Using an Endoscope
Removal of Polyps in Large Bowel, Using an Endoscope
A flexible colonoscopy is performed with removal of tumors, polyps, or other lesions by hot biopsy forceps or snare technique. The colonoscope is inserted into the rectum and advanced through the colon to the cecum or a point within the terminal ileum, using air insufflation to separate the mucosal folds for better visualization. Mucosal surfaces of the colon are inspected and any abnormalities are noted. The tumor, polyp, or other lesion is identified. Hot biopsy method uses insulated monopolar forceps to remove and electrocoagulate (cauterize) tissue simultaneously. Hot biopsy forceps are used primarily for removal of small polyps and treatment of vascular ectasias. A wire snare loop is placed around the lesion. The loop is heated to shave off and cauterize the lesion. Lesions may be removed en bloc with one placement of the snare or in a piecemeal fashion which requires multiple applications of the snare. The endoscope is withdrawn and mucosal surfaces are again inspected for ulcerations, bleeding sites, lesions, strictures, or other abnormalities.

Ultrasound Veins of Both Arms or Legs
Ultrasound Veins of Both Arms or Legs
A vascular ultrasound study is performed to evaluate veins in the extremities. A duplex scan uses both B-mode and Doppler studies. A clear gel is placed on the skin of the extremity over the region to be studied. A B-mode transducer is placed on the skin and real-time images of the veins are obtained. A Doppler probe within the B-mode transducer provides information on the pattern and direction of blood flow in the veins. The B-mode transducer produces ultrasonic sound waves that move through the skin and bounce off the veins when the probe is moved over the region being studied. The Doppler probe produces sound waves that bounce off blood cells moving within the veins. The reflected sound waves are sent to an amplifier that makes the sound waves audible. The pitch of the sound waves changes if there is reduced blood flow, or ceases altogether if a vessel is completely obstructed. A computer converts the sound waves to images that are overlaid with colors to produce video images showing the speed and direction of blood flow as well as any obstruction. Spectral Doppler analysis is performed to provide information on anatomy and hemodynamic function. The duplex scan may include a baseline evaluation followed by additional scans obtained with compression or using other maneuvers that alter blood flow. The physician reviews the duplex scan and provides a written interpretation of findings.

Physical Therapy, ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves applied to produce heat and/or vibration to promote the circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve the flexibility of connective tissue. A water-soluble gel is applied to the site to be treated. A hand-held device is used to deliver the sound waves. The device is moved over the site using a circular motion. Ultrasound is helpful in treating acute soft tissue injures. Ultrasound is a physical therapy modality that requires constant attendance with direct (one-on-one) patient contact. Ultrasound is a time-based service reported in 15-minute increments.

Bone Density Scan (DEXA Scan)
Bone Density Scan (DEXA Scan)
These codes report dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for bone density study. Measuring bone mass or bone mineral density (BMD) is done to diagnose for bone disease, evaluate bone disease progression, or monitor the results of treatment, particularly for osteoporosis, which puts a bone at higher risk of fracture. The radiation dose of DXA is around 1/30th of that in a standard chest x-ray. DXA involves aiming two x-ray beams of different energy levels at the bones in alternate pulses. Soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, and the BMD is determined by the bone's absorption of each beam in the projected area. The DXA scan measurement is then compared to a same sex standard of bone density at age 30, since the maximum BMD occurs at age 30 in both males and females. The difference between the measured BMD and the sex-matched, average 30-year-old standard is known as the T score. A T score between -1.0 and -2.4 diagnoses osteopenia, while a T score of -2.5 or less indicates osteoporosis.

CT Abdomen & Pelvis with Contrast
CT Abdomen & Pelvis with Contrast
Computerized tomography, also referred to as a CT scan, uses special x-ray equipment and computer technology to produce multiple cross-sectional images of the abdomen and pelvis. The patient is positioned on the CT examination table. An initial pass is made through the CT scanner to determine the starting position of the scans. The CT scan is then performed. As the table moves slowly through the scanner, numerous x-ray beams and electronic x-ray detectors rotate around the abdomen and pelvis. The amount of radiation being absorbed is measured. As the beams and detectors rotate around the body, the table is moved through the scanner. A computer program processes the data which is then displayed on the monitor as two-dimensional cross-sectional images of the abdomen or pelvis. The physician reviews the data and images as they are obtained and may request additional sections to provide more detail on areas of interest.

CT Abdomen with Contrast
CT Abdomen with Contrast
Diagnostic computed tomography (CT) is done on the abdomen to provide detailed visualization of the tissues and organs within the abdominal area. CT uses multiple, narrow x-ray beams aimed around a single rotational axis, taking a series of 2D images of the target structure from multiple angles. Contrast material is used to enhance the images. Computer software processes the data and produces several images of thin, cross-sectional 2D slices of the targeted organ or area. Three-dimensional models can be created by stacking multiple, individual 2D slices together. The patient is placed inside the CT scanner on the table and images are obtained of the abdomen. The physician reviews the images for the cause of abdominal pain, swelling, and fever; for other suspected problems such as appendicitis and kidney stones; for locating tumors, abscesses, or masses; or for evaluating the abdominal area for hernias, infections, or internal injury. The physician reviews the CT scan, notes any abnormalities, and provides a written interpretation of the findings.

CT Pelvis with Contrast
CT Pelvis with Contrast
Diagnostic computed tomography (CT) is done on the pelvis to provide detailed visualization of the organs and structures within or near the pelvis, such as kidneys, bladder, prostate, uterus, cervix, vagina, lymph nodes, and pelvic bones. CT uses multiple, narrow x-ray beams aimed around a single rotational axis, taking a series of 2D images of the target structure from multiple angles. Contrast material is used to enhance the images. Computer software processes the data and produces several images of thin, cross-sectional 2D slices of the targeted organ or area. Three-dimensional models of organs within the pelvis can be created by stacking multiple, individual 2D slices together. The patient is placed inside the CT scanner on the table and images are obtained of the pelvis area. The physician reviews the images to gather information for specified purposes such as diagnosing or monitoring cancer, evaluating the pelvic bones for fractures or other injury following trauma, locating abscesses or masses found during physical exam, finding the cause of pelvic pain, providing more detailed information before surgery, and evaluating the patient after surgery.

CT Scan of Abdominal Aorta and Both Leg Arteries with Contrast
CT Scan of Abdominal Aorta and Both Leg Arteries with Contrast
A computed tomographic angiography (CTA) of the abdominal aorta with bilateral iliofemoral lower extremity run-off is performed with contrast material including image postprocessing. Noncontrast images may also be obtained and are included when performed. CTA provides images of the blood vessels using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and angiography with contrast material. When angiography is performed using CT, multiple images are obtained and processed on a computer to create detailed, two-dimensional, cross-sectional views of the blood vessels. These images are then displayed on a computer monitor. The patient is positioned on the CT table. An intravenous line is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the arm or hand. Non-contrast images may be obtained. A small dose of contrast is injected and test images are obtained to verify correct positioning. The CTA is then performed. Contrast is injected at a controlled rate and the CT table moves through the CT machine as the scanning is performed. After completion of the CTA, the radiologist reviews and interprets the CTA images of the abdominal aorta with bilateral iliofemoral lower extremity runoff.

Chest X-Ray; 2 Views
Chest X-Ray; 2 Views
A radiologic examination of the chest is performed. Chest radiographs (X-rays) provide images of the heart, lungs, bronchi, major blood vessels (aorta, vena cava, pulmonary vessels), and bones, (sternum, ribs, clavicle, scapula, spine). The most common views are frontal (also referred to as anteroposterior or AP), posteroanterior (PA), and lateral. To obtain a frontal view, the patient is positioned facing the x-ray machine. A PA view is obtained with the patient's back toward the x-ray machine. For a lateral view, the patient is positioned with side of the chest toward the machine. Other views that may be obtained include apical lordotic, oblique, and lateral decubitus. An apical lordotic image provides better visualization of the apical (top) regions of the lungs. The patient is positioned with the back arched so that the tops of the lungs can be x-rayed. Oblique views may be obtained to evaluate a pulmonary or mediastinal mass or opacity or to provide additional images of the heart and great vessels. There are four positions used for oblique views including right and left anterior oblique, and right and left posterior oblique. Anterior oblique views are obtained with the patient standing and the chest rotated 45 degrees. The arm closest to the x-ray cassette is flexed with the hand resting on the hip. The opposite arm is raised as high as possible. The part of the chest farthest away from the x-ray cassette is the area being studied. Posterior oblique views are typically obtained only when the patient is too ill to stand or lay prone for anterior oblique views. A lateral decubitus view is obtained with the patient lying on the side; the patient's head rests on one arm, and the other arm is raised over the head with the elbow bent. Images are recorded on hard copy film or stored electronically as digital images. The physician reviews the images, notes any abnormalities, and provides a written interpretation of the findings.

Diagnostic mammography, bilateral
Diagnostic mammography, bilateral
These codes report diagnostic mammography of one breast or both breasts with computer-aided lesion detection (CAD), when performed. Mammography is the radiographic imaging of the breast using low-dose ionizing radiation. The x-rays used in mammography have a longer wavelength that those typically used for bone imaging. The test is done to detect tumors or cysts in women who have symptoms of breast disease or a palpable mass. The breast is compressed between planes on a machine dedicated strictly to mammography. This evens out the dense tissue and holds the breast still for a better quality image. Computer-aided detection uses algorithm analysis of the image data obtained from the mammographic films, with or without digitization of the radiographic images. The mammographic picture of the breast is used by scanning the x-ray film with a laser beam, usually converting the scanned image of the analog film into digital data for the computer first, then employing a methodical, step-by-step pattern of analyzing the data on video display for unusual or suspicious areas.

Imaging of Abdomen and Chest
Imaging of Abdomen and Chest
A radiologic examination of the abdomen images the internal organs, soft tissue (muscle, fat), and supporting skeleton. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures of non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of its different density and composition, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured. This produces a 2D image of the structures. The radiographs may be taken to look for size, shape, and position of organs, pattern of air (bowel gas), obstruction, foreign objects, and calcification in the gallbladder, urinary tract, and aorta. A radiologic examination of the abdomen may be ordered to diagnose abdominal distention and pain, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and traumatic injury; it may also be obtained as a screening exam or scout film prior to other imagining procedures.

Imaging of Liver and Bile Duct System without Use of Drugs
Imaging of Liver and Bile Duct System without Use of Drugs
Hepatobiliary system nuclear imaging tracks the production and flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine using a radioactive tracer that highlights the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder if the gallbladder has not been surgically removed. This procedure may also be referred to as a HIDA scan which stands for hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan. The procedure is performed to evaluate liver function, specifically bile production and excretion, and to evaluate the drainage system (bile ducts) and gallbladder for obstruction, inflammation, or other abnormalities. An intravenous catheter is placed. The radioactive tracer is injected. A gamma camera travels back and forth over the abdomen and multiple images are obtained as the radioactive tracer flows through the bloodstream and is taken up by the bile-producing cells in the liver. Images are obtained continuously as the radioactive tracer, which is now contained in the bile, travels from the liver through the biliary ducts into the gallbladder, and then from the gallbladder through the common bile duct into the duodenum. The patient is monitored throughout the procedure. Upon completion, the physician reviews the images and provides a written report of findings.

MRA Head without Contrast
MRA Head without Contrast
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is performed on the head without contrast materials, with contrast materials, and without contrast materials followed by contrast materials. MRA is a noninvasive radiology procedure used to evaluate arterial and venous vessels for conditions such as atherosclerotic stenosis, arterial dissection, acute thrombosis, aneurysms or pseudo-aneurysms, vascular loops, vascular malformations/tumors, or arterial causes of pulsatile tinnitus. MRA may be performed following vascular surgery on the intracranial vessels to assess vascular status. MRA uses a magnetic field and pulses of radiowave energy to provide images of the blood vessels. Multiple images, 1-2 mm in thickness, are obtained and then processed using an array algorithm to produce maximum intensity projections (MIPs). MIPs are similar to subtraction angiograms. Areas of interest are identified by the radiologist and coned down to produce detailed views of the arteries. This post-processing of the images is performed by a technologist. The MIPs are reviewed by the radiologist along with the initial MRA images. The radiologist provides a written interpretation of findings.

MRI Abdomen with and without Contrast
MRI Abdomen with and without Contrast
Magnetic resonance imaging is done on the abdomen. Magnetic resonance is a noninvasive, non-radiating imaging technique that uses the magnetic properties of hydrogen atoms in the body. The patient is placed on a motorized table within a large MRI tunnel scanner that contains the magnet. The powerful magnetic field forces the hydrogen atoms to line up. Radiowaves are then transmitted within the strong magnetic field. Protons in the nuclei of different types of tissues emit a specific radiofrequency signal that bounces back to the computer, which processes the signals and converts the data into tomographic, 3D images with very high resolution. The patient is placed on a motorized table within a large MRI tunnel scanner that contains the magnet. Small coils that help transmit and receive the radiowaves may be placed around the abdomen. MRI is often done for trauma and suspected internal injury, and unexplained abdominal pain, swelling, and fever. MRI scans provide clear images of areas that may be difficult to see on CT. The physician reviews the images to look for information that may correlate to the patient's signs or symptoms, such as the location of tumors, abscesses, or masses; the presence of kidney stones, hernias, appendicitis or other infections, and internal injury.

Screening Mammography, Bilateral
Screening Mammography, Bilateral
Bilateral screening mammography is done with computer-aided lesion detection (CAD), when performed. Mammography is the radiographic imaging of the breast using low-dose ionizing radiation. The x-rays used in mammography have a longer wavelength than those typically used for bone imaging. A screening mammogram is done on asymptomatic women for early breast cancer detection when there are no known palpable masses. This is done on both breasts with two views taken on each side. The breast is compressed between planes on a machine dedicated strictly to mammography. This evens out the dense tissue and holds the breast still for a better quality image. Computer-aided detection uses algorithm analysis of the image data obtained from the mammographic films, with or without digitization of the radiographic images. The mammographic picture of the breast is used by scanning the x-ray film with a laser beam, usually converting the scanned image of the analog film into digital data for the computer first, then employing a methodical, step-by-step pattern of analyzing the data on video display for unusual or suspicious areas.

Thyroid Update and Scan
Thyroid Update and Scan
Thyroid imaging, also referred to as a thyroid scan, is a type of nuclear medicine study that is used to determine the size, shape and position of the thyroid. Radioactive iodine isotopes are administered orally in the form of a liquid or capsule or intravenously. If the radioactive tracer is administered orally the imaging procedure is performed several hours or up to 24 hours later. If the radioactive tracer is administered intravenously, the imaging procedure is performed approximately 30 minutes later. The patient positioned supine on an exam table with the head tipped back and a series of images of the thyroid gland are obtained using a gamma camera. Images of the thyroid vasculature may also be obtained. The images are reviewed by the physician and a written report of findings provided. Thyroid imaging may be performed in conjunction with thyroid uptake. Thyroid uptake is performed to evaluate thyroid gland function. Single or multiple uptake measurements may be obtained to determine how much iodine is absorbed by the thyroid gland and how quickly. Radioactive iodine isotopes (I-123 or I-131) are administered orally in liquid or capsule form approximately 4 hours before the thyroid uptake imaging is performed. A stationary probe is positioned over the thyroid gland in the neck and images are obtained. A second thyroid uptake determination is typically performed 24 hours after the administration of the iodine. Additional images may be obtained following the administration of substances that stimulate and/or suppress thyroid function. The images are then reviewed by the physician and written interpretation of findings provided.

X-Ray Ankle, 2 Views
X-Ray Ankle, 2 Views
A radiologic examination of the ankle images the bones of the distal lower extremities including the tibia, fibula, and talus. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. The radiographs may be taken to look for the cause of pain, limping, or swelling, or conditions such as fractures, dislocations, deformities, degenerative disease, osteomyelitis, arthritis, foreign body, and cysts or tumors. Ankle x-rays may also be used to determine whether there is satisfactory alignment of lower extremity bones following fracture treatment. Standard views of the ankle include front to back anteroposterior (AP), lateral (side), oblique (semi-prone position with body and leg partially rotated), and stress study with traction placed on the joint manually.

X-Ray Colon with Air Contrast and High Density Barium
X-Ray Colon with Air Contrast and High Density Barium
A radiologic examination of the colon (large intestine) images the right ascending, transverse, left descending, and sigmoid colon, as well as the rectum; it may also include the appendix and a portion of the distal small intestine. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures of non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of its different density and composition, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. A radiologic examination of the colon may be used to diagnose tumors, inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, obstruction, abnormal position or configuration of the organ including Hirschsprung disease in children. Patients may present with symptoms such as weight loss, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, a change in bowel habits, diarrhea, and/or constipation. A radiologic examination of the colon will often begin with a front to back anteroposterior (AP) scout film obtained in erect or supine position to verify adequate colonic preparation for the study. A small tube is inserted into the rectum and high density barium contrast is instilled via gravity. The patient may be turned in varying positions to facilitate the passage of contract throughout the large intestine. The radiologist visualizes the colon and directly observes function using fluoroscopy and obtains spot films as indicated. The barium is then drained and air is used to insufflate the colon to complete the study. Glucagon may be administered intravenously to induce colonic hypotonia and reduce pain and spasms associated with colon distension during the procedure.

X-rays of the elbow are usually considered necessary to assess for fractures or dislocations when the normal range of motion for extension, flexion, supination, and pronation cannot be carried out. Most acute disruptions of the elbow joint can be diagnosed by conventional x-ray examination, with the minimum number of views including the front to back anteroposterior projection with the elbow in as full extension as possible, and the side, or lateral image taken in flexion. A complete series of images also includes an oblique view of the radial head-capitellar image to help diagnose suspected subtle fractures involving the radial head or in cases of acute pain and trauma. The patient needs to be able to hold the elbow in full extension for the front view and in 90 degree flexion for the oblique and lateral views as much as possible.

X-Ray Hand, 3 Views
X-Ray Hand, 3 Views
A radiologic examination of the hand is done. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. The radiographs may be taken to look for conditions such as fractures, dislocations, deformities, degenerative bone conditions, osteomyelitis, arthritis, foreign body, or tumors. Hand x-rays are also used to help determine the 'bone age' of children and assess whether any nutritional or metabolic disorders may be interfering with proper development. The posteroanterior projection is taken with the palm down flat and may show not only the metacarpals, phalanges, and interphalangeal joints, but the carpal bones, radius, and ulna as well. Lateral views may be taken with the hand placed upright, resting upon the ulnar side of the palm and little finger with the thumb on top, ideally with the fingers supported by a sponge and splayed to avoid overlap. Oblique views can be obtained with the hand placed palm down and rolled slightly to the outside with the fingertips still touching the film surface.

X-Ray Heel, 2 Views
A radiologic examination of the calcaneus images the bones of the distal lower extremity and usually includes the tibia, fibula, and talus. A radiologic examination of the toe(s) (phalanges) will usually include the metatarsals. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. The radiographs may be taken to look for the cause of pain, limping, or swelling, or conditions such as fractures, dislocations, deformities, degenerative disease, osteomyelitis, arthritis, foreign body, and cysts or tumors. Calcaneus and toe(s) x-rays may also be used to determine whether there is satisfactory alignment of lower extremity bones following fracture treatment. Standard views to image the calcaneus include lateral (side) and axial (supine with foot dorsiflexed). Common views to image the toe(s) include top to bottom dorsal planter (DP) and oblique (supine with leg rotated medially to image the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and laterally to image the 4th and 5th digits).

X-Ray Hip and Pelvis, 1 View
A radiologic examination of the hip is done on either the left or the right side, which may also include the pelvis. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. The radiographs may be taken to look for conditions such as fractures, dislocations, deformities, degenerative bone conditions, osteomyelitis, arthritis, foreign body, infection, or tumor. Hip standard views that are taken most frequently include the front to back anteroposterior view taken with the patient lying supine and the legs straight, rotated slightly inward; the lateral ‘frog-leg’ view, taken with the hips flexed and abducted and the knees flexed with the soles of the feet placed together; a cross table view with the unaffected hip and knee flexed at a 90 degree angle out of the way and the beam aimed perpendicular to the long axis of the femur on the affected side. Another type of lateral view is taken with the hip flexed 45 degrees and abducted 45 degrees and the beam aimed perpendicular to the table.

A diagnostic x-ray examination of the pelvis is done. X-ray uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. Bones appear white while soft tissue and fluids appear shades of grey. Pelvic x-rays are taken when the patient complains of pain and/or injury in the area of the pelvis or hip joints to assess for fractures and detect arthritis or bone disease. The patient is placed on a table and different views of the pelvis are taken by having the patient position the legs and feet differently, such as turning the feet inward to point at each other, or bending the knees outward with the soles of the feet together in a 'frog-leg' position.

X-Ray Ribs One Side, 2 Views
X-Ray Ribs One Side, 2 Views
Rib radiographs (x-rays) are typically obtained following trauma to the rib cage to determine if fractures or other internal injuries are present. The most common views of the ribs are anteroposterior (AP) (frontal) and oblique. There are four positions used for oblique views: right anterior oblique, left anterior oblique, right posterior oblique, and left posterior oblique. Anterior oblique views are obtained with the patient standing and the chest rotated 45 degrees. The arm closest to the x-ray cassette is flexed with the hand resting on the hip. The opposite arm is raised as high as possible. The part of the chest farthest away from the x-ray cassette is the area that is being studied. Posterior oblique views are typically obtained only when the patient is too ill to stand or lay prone for anterior oblique views.

X-Ray Sacroiliac Joints, 3 or More Views
X-Ray Sacroiliac Joints, 3 or More Views
A radiologic examination of the sacroiliac (SI) joints is performed. This is the area where the left and right winged pelvic bones join with the sacrum in the back to form the posterior portion of the pelvic ring. Because of its complex anatomy and irregular surfaces, the sacroiliac joint can be difficult to image. An anteroposterior (AP) view with the patient supine and knees or hips flexed, if possible, is typically done first for routine exam, along with left and right oblique views with the patient recumbent and rotated 25-30 degrees from the AP position. When imaging SI joints, the oblique views take the x-ray of the side that is up, although the patient is positioned for the opposite side down. Posteroanterior views may also be taken with the patient prone. X-rays are taken of the sacroiliac joints to help diagnose spondyloarthropathies in rheumatic disease, inflammatory lesions affecting the joint, sacroiliitis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile spondyloarthropathy, arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis, as well as fractures or dislocations. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector.

X-Ray Shoulder Blade
X-Ray Shoulder Blade
A complete radiologic examination of the scapula is performed. Fractures of the scapula are not very common and are sometimes found even when there is no clinical suspicion of injury. Parts of the scapula include the body, acromion, spine, coracoid, neck, and glenoid. The acromion and the coracoid form a 'Y' shape where they join with the body of the scapula. The lateral scapula view, also called the 'Y' view, is the standard view that may be taken by different techniques for a complete examination, including the anteroposterior (AP) or posteroanterior (PA) technique views, further dependent on arm position. With the patient in an oblique AP or PA position, lateral views may be taken with the hand on the hip, the arm by the side, and the hand of the target side placed on the opposite shoulder. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures.

X-Ray Shoulder, 1 View
A radiologic examination of the shoulder is done. The shoulder is the junction of the humeral head and the glenoid of the scapula. Standard views include the anteroposterior (AP) view and the lateral 'Y' view, named because of the Y shape formed by the scapula when looking at it from the side. An axial view can also be obtained for further assessment when the patient is able to hold the arm in abduction. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures inside the body. X-rays work on non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of the different density and composition of the object, which allows some of the x-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector.

X-Ray Upper Digestive Tract without Contrast
X-Ray Upper Digestive Tract without Contrast
A radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract images the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. X-ray imaging uses indirect ionizing radiation to take pictures of non-uniform material, such as human tissue, because of its different density and composition, which allows some of the X-rays to be absorbed and some to pass through and be captured behind the object on a detector. This produces a 2D image of the structures. A radiologic examination of the upper GI tract may be used to diagnose ulcers, tumors, inflammation, hiatal hernia, scarring, obstruction, and abnormal position or configuration of the organs. Patients may present with symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chest or abdominal pain, vomiting, reflux, indigestion, or blood in the stool. A radiologic examination of the GI tract will often begin with a single, front to back anteroposterior (AP) scout film obtained in an erect or supine position that includes imaging of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder known as a KUB. Under fluoroscopy, the patient orally ingests contrast media and the liquid is watched as it passes down the esophagus into the stomach and duodenum. Spot films are taken as indicated. Medication may be administered to speed up or delay GI motility and movement of the contrast. Delayed images may be required if movement is very slow or to verify emptying of the contrast from the upper GI tract.

BILLING PROCESS AND INFORMATION
BILLING PROCESS AND INFORMATION
How You Can Help
Thank you for choosing Integris Baptist Medical Center for your healthcare needs. At Integris Baptist Medical Center, we are committed to making the billing process as patient-friendly as possible. Here are some ways you can help the billing process go smoothly.
• Please give us complete health insurance information.
In addition to your health insurance card, we may ask for a photo ID. If you have been seen at Integris Baptist Medical Center, let us know if your personal information or insurance information has changed since your last visit.
• Please understand and follow the requirements of your health plan.
Be sure to know your benefits, obtain proper authorization for services and submit referral claim forms if necessary. Many insurance plans require patients to pay a co-payment or deductible amount. You are responsible for paying co-payments required by your insurance provider and Integris Baptist Medical Center is responsible for collecting co-payments. Please come to your appointment prepared to make your co-payment.
• Please respond promptly to any requests from your insurance provider.
You may receive multiple bills for your hospital visit, including your family doctor, specialists, physicians to read x-rays, give anesthesia, or do blood work. Insurance benefits are the result of your contract with your insurance company. We are a third-party to those benefits and may need your help with your insurance. If your insurance plan does not pay the bill within 90 days after billing, or your claim is denied, you will receive a statement from Integris Baptist Medical Center indicating the bill is now your responsibility. All bills sent to you are due upon receipt.
Questions about Price and Billing Information
Our goal is for each of our patients and their families to have the best healthcare experience possible. Part of our commitment is to provide you with information that helps you make well informed decisions about your own care.
To ask questions or get more information about a bill for services you've received, please contact our Customer Call Center at 405-949-3011.
If you need more information about the price of a future service, please contact our Price Hotline at 405-949-3011. A CPT code is strongly encouraged when you call. You can obtain the CPT code from the ordering physician.
Online Payment, Registration, & Scheduling
For the convenience of our patients, a number of online services are available at https://baptist.integrisok.com/. Integris Baptist Medical Center offers secure online payment.
Integris Baptist Medical Center also offers pre-registration and appointment requests through a secure online form at https://baptist.integrisok.com/. Patients may pre-register for surgeries, admissions, outpatient procedures and tests at least three business days in advance. Patients may also pre-register for maternity services up to three months prior to their expected delivery date.
Financial Assistance
We are pleased to offer financial assistance to patients with limited resources and inadequate medical insurance coverage. Eligibility is determined by total family income/assets. The patient must agree to apply for other assistance available to pay hospital charges (Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance) before being discharged.
