Question does anyone have information if you can bill CPT code 73700 for ankle and foot CT twice one for ankle and one for foot?
 
cpt 73700

the info i have for Radiology billing code 73700 is only 1 per extremity per body side..... example==one ankle/foot RT permitted and one ankle/foot LT permitted. can't bill separately for ankle and then foot same body side per and audit review.

hope that helps!
:)
 
Thank you, that is what I thought and was trying to explain to my doctors and administrator. You wouldn't happen to have a link with the info so I have it in black and white?
 
The explanation is within the code descriptor . It states CT lower extremity. The foot and ankle together are the lower extremity. You cannot separate the extremity into separate parts as the code description does not allow for that.
