We are having a conflict of opinion on how to code this.

BILATERAL HANDS, PA VIEW, 1 V. EACH:
COMPARISON: None.
HISTORY: Arthritis with hand pain.

Both hands were on one film
Is this:
Joint survey-CPT 77077 x1
OR
Joint survey- CPT 77077 x2 for both hands
OR
Hand 2 views- CPT 73120 with a modifier 52 and X2 for both Hands

Thanks for your help!

You should use the hand xray codes. Depending on your insurance carrier whether you can bill a quantity of 2. The most accurate would seem to be 73120 - 52 for each hand.
