Estimated Number of CPT Codes - NMVAHCS.xlsx

This is an estimated procedure volume spreadsheet for radiological services at the New Mexico VA Health Care System (NMVAHCS). The document lists Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes with corresponding descriptions and estimated annual procedure quantities across multiple imaging modalities. The procedures span diagnostic radiology, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine services.

The highest-volume procedures include chest radiography (71045 with 3,495 estimated procedures and 71046 with 990 procedures), CT head imaging without contrast (70450 with 1,499 procedures), and CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast (74177 with 1,280 procedures). Other significant volume areas include lumbar and cervical spine imaging, knee radiography, foot imaging, and various CT and MRI studies. The spreadsheet documents approximately 100+ distinct CPT codes representing the anticipated imaging workload for the NMVAHCS teleradiology services solicitation, which is being used to support the Department of Veterans Affairs' requirement for contracted teleradiology physician services to provide remote diagnostic interpretation in compliance with American College of Radiology guidelines and Joint Commission standards.
