Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for diagnostic radiology (diagnostic imaging) gastrointestinal tract procedures.
CPT Code 74210
CPT 74210 describes a radiologic examination of the pharynx and/or cervical esophagus, including scout neck radiograph(s) and delayed image(s) with a contrast (e.g., barium) study when performed.
CPT Code 74220
CPT 74220 describes a single-contrast (e.g., barium) study of the esophagus, including scout chest radiograph(s) and delayed image(s).
CPT Code 74221
CPT 74221 describes a double-contrast study of the esophagus, including scout chest radiograph(s) and delayed image(s).
CPT Code 74230
CPT 74230 describes a radiologic examination of swallowing function, including scout neck radiograph(s) and delayed image(s) with cineradiography/videoradiography and a contrast (e.g., barium) study when performed.
CPT Code 74235
CPT 74235 describes removing foreign body(s) from the esophagus using a balloon catheter, with radiological supervision and interpretation.
CPT Code 74240
