Wiki MRI Billed Twice for RT Shoulder and RT Wrist?

We have this happen in our office frequently. Typically, we bill 73221 on two lines with -RT or -LT, and add -59 on the second line showing the different body part. Hope this helps!
 
Yes. 73221 is billable per joint, but there should be separate reports and orders for each joint. If you were billing for non-joint MRI's that is per extremity so those can only be billed once.
