The appropriate CPT code for a CT scan of the chest without contrast is 71250. This code specifically designates a computed tomography scan of the thorax without the use of contrast material. If the procedure involves supervision and interpretation by the radiologist, that is typically included in the overall billing for the CT scan itself.
