Hi Everyone,

Im hoping you can shed some light on the below!

I was asked the question when billing a hip sextant (73700), is it
correct to charge for only ONE joint, even though technically other joints
are scanned, (knee) . The radiologist is dictating for both joints.

My thought is we can bill for both joints and put a modifier on the code?

Thoughts, opinions???

Thanks in advance!
