78300 is the correct CPT code for a bone scan of a single area, such as the shoulder. The other codes represent different types or extents of nuclear medicine bone scans, with 78306 for a whole-body bone scan, 78315 for a three-phase bone scan, and 78305 for a limited area bone scan but with more detail than a single area scan.
