Hello,
We are having a debate at the office.
If the provider orders a 4 view cervical x-ray and a cervical MRI - would this be considered low (2 unique tests - 1 for the x-ray, 1 for the MRI). Would this be considered moderate (5 unique tests - 4 multiple view x-ray, 1 for the MRI).
Myself and others believe it is the 2 unique tests as we would code it as the 72050 and 72141 but we have a couple that think it should count as moderate due to him order 4 views.
Does anyone have information for imaging when ordering these tests? Mostly for multiple images.
Any help is appreciated!
