Digital vs Plain Film X-ray (Adenoid & Sinus)

We were recently told that there is a reimbursement difference when billing for digital x-ray versus plain film x-ray. In particular we still perform lateral x-ray's of the adenoids and occasionally sinus views on an older plain film machine and are needing to upgrade at this point. I do not see where there is a difference for CPT code regardless of plain film or digital. Can anyone elaborate on this specifically if there is a reimbursement difference? Thanks!
