If a patient comes in on Monday and has an xray and then comes back on Thursday to see the physician and the physician does the interpretation of the xray. The physician also owns the equipment and the xray was done in his office. I assume that this would be billed as global, meaning no TC or 26, correct? Also which date do you bill the xray for? Monday or Thursday?

Thanks for the help.
 
IF the provider owns the equipment then yes you would bill the global code for the Xray. Bill the Xray on the day it is done and the office visit on the day he comes back for the results.

Hope this helps

If the physician owns the x ray equipment, bill only the TC the day it was done but do not bill for interpretation (26).
