please weigh in on this issue at my office ~
scenario: patient falls, hurts wrist, goes to PCP or Urgent Care, has xrays taken. yes, it's broken, take this xray to an orthopedic specialist. this patient then comes to my office with cd of xray(s) with them. our provider pops the cd in the computer & views images.
now - I get a billing ticket with 99213 & 73100-26
is this appropriate? provider says since he is looking at the image, not reading a report it is "interpretation"
thanks for your help....
