Wiki C-Arm for Guidance

[ajhunsicker]

Both my Doctors in the office during surgical procedures use C-arms for guidance when doing closed reduction of fractures. When billing this I have been using the 77001 with a 26 modifier. The one doctor want to use 76000, but this never gets paid and I feel that is wrong, which I keep stating. Can someone help me with many thanks...... AJ, CPC

AJ,
CPT Assistant did an article about fluoroscopic guidance codes in their June 2008 issue, page 8. You should find your answers there.
