Wiki 71100 unilateral rib x-ray

[miugu]

Hi

I have a question regarding a unilateral rib x-ray. What code is best to use when a Doctor does a 4 view unilateral rib x-ray with no chest involved?

71100 code is for 2 views only.

Thank you,

We would need to know what views were done to determine one of the four CPT codes available. If a PA chest view and or bilateral x-rays were not done, you are limited to the 71000 pretty much.
