Can someone explain to me the logic of adding A 59 MOD TO THE RADIOLOGY CODES HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN?
72170 59LT
73501 59LT
BOTH HAVE THE SAME DX, I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE THE 72170 DENIED AS INAPPROPRIATE MOD, AND INCLUSIVE.
 
The description for the 73501 states:
........, with pelvis when performed; 1 view
Therefore the 72170 is inclusive and not separately billable
