If an ortho surgeon performs a stress x-ray during open fracture care, should a 77071 be charged? For example with a 27759, ORIF Tibia shaft fracture. There are no NCCI edits, but this is the surgeon, not the radiologist. Should the surgeon charge this separately or should this be bundled? Any help would be appreciated!
 
Hello, checked Optum360 and there did not seem to be any bundle errors, guidelines did not have any particulars for RAD, bill with -26?
