Question

Mammography

When billing a 77056 or 77055 (diagnostic) we can not bill for extra views if the radiologist wants to see more. Correct? It is just good medicine is what I have been told. Also, what about if the patient has implant and is having a screening mammo and the doctor just want to take 8 views instead of 4. This is the doctors choice but he wants to bill for them and they are not diagnostic. Help. Thanks
Jeanine
