The CBHPM meeting held on August 29 at the headquarters of the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB) for the inclusion of 41001265 CT – Virtual Colonoscopy (colonography) was positive.
Thus, the adequacy of the nomenclature of the procedure in the TUSS (Unified Terminology of Supplementary Health) code 41001265 changed from “CT virtual colonoscopy“ to “CT – Virtual Colonoscopy (colonography)”.
Another relevant point is that the procedure was included in the CBHPM with the pricing requested by the CBR, which reinforces yet another important result obtained by the CBR's CBHPM Permanent Discussion Commission, which has sought several improvements in relation to Imagem procedures, always with focus on valuing the specialty.
Check out the summary of this inclusion:
41001265 CT – Virtual colonoscopy (colonography)
