I'm curious if this is normal coding or if I should be pushing back on it -

I was charged for a CT scan w/ Contrast Material

CT Scan - General Classification

HC CT Abdomen & Pelvis W/Contrast Material - 74177 (CPT®)

And then in the pharmacy line I was charged with the actual contrast material

Pharmacy - Extension of 025x - General

Iohexol per 1 Ml (0407-1414-72) - quantity: 100 - Q9967 (HCPCS)

Is that typical?

I pushed back once and they reviewed it and sent some wordy reply that it was coded correctly but the reply didn't sound like it addressed the issue at all. So I'm thinking of pushing back again. But I'm not sure if I'm pushing against a brick wall.
