Yes, outpatient radiology can use Volume 3 of the ICD-9-CM coding system to code certain procedures, particularly those that are performed in a hospital outpatient setting. Volume 3 includes codes for procedures and surgeries, which may be applicable in outpatient scenarios. However, it is important to note that the use of ICD-10-PCS has largely replaced Volume 3 for inpatient procedures in many healthcare settings. Therefore, practitioners should ensure they are using the most current coding guidelines and systems relevant to their practice.
