This is more of a general question, so I hope I'm posting in the right place...

Where do I find guidelines for billing an e/m visit, x-ray, etc. for an out-of-state patient? Are there general billing rules? Or does it depend on each payor or state? Specifically, a new physician is asking about billing for an x-ray for a patient who is coming in for possible fracture. The patient will return to their home state for any further care/treatment.
I'm not having much luck researching this topic, so any help at all would be appreciated.
 
You would simply code for the services provided. If for example, the patient does have a fracture, but you are not providing the fracture care package, you would only bill for the services provided.
