Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 WHat would be the appropriate code to use for xray for this particular series. APOM neutral and lateral flexion each way....stress view Sagital neutral, flexion, extension cervical It's a total of 6 views, and there is no specific code for these views I can find. A must include obliques, a 5 view 72050 isn't really it. EPIC imaging didn't know. Would it be 72020 Single view x 6 ??? Any ideas? Don White, RN, DC Quote
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Don How do you read the 72052? It states complete including obliques and flexion and/or extension studies. Does that mean that you could only perform flexion without extension? I may be incorrect but I utilize the “and/or” option for obliques as well, reading as flexion/extension and/or obliques. Therefore, I would and do bill 72052 when we perform flexion extension studies with our three view and Nasium films. Still 6 views. Dan DC From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of MekaAbou@...
