Folks,
Does anyone bill for the fluoro images interpretated after the fact by a Radiiologist?
Wondering what other facilities do with respect to fluoro spot images and views.

For procedures that have an RS&I that applies to the procedure, we bill the code with a 26 and 52 modifier indicating we are only providing the interpretation. For procedures that don't have an RS&I code, the AMA said that it's acceptable to charge the xray code for the site that was imaged. This does not apply to the hospital
