I am confused! An outpatient had MRI of left shoulder w/o contrast for a rotator cuff tear. Two shoulder joints were mentioned in the MRI report, but one MRI done. I was under impression we code the 73221 only once, but someone else thought it should be billed twice, since 2 joints were mentioned. As I new coder, this one confused me. Please help. Thank you
 
Bill only once.
As a new coder be aware of what is ordered and protocolled.
If only one was ordered/protocolled, only one can be billed, especially in an Outpt setting.
