Wiki 73520 Confusion

[vballew]

Is it appropriate to code 73520 when the Lt hip xray and rt hip xray are done at different times? For example what if the lt hip and pelvis xray were in the morning but then the rt hip xray was done later in the afternoon? Help...

Was it by the same ordering provider? Same Dx?

Well I would like to know the answer for either scenario. But yes same ordering doctor both for a fall.
