Ok, so i know that NCCI edits bundle 71020 and 71101 with an allowed mod and if it's medically necessary.
but can someone please explain to me what i'm looking for in a radiology report for these two services to even see if they're both billable or link to me a site that has more info? our urgent care does these two procedures often. payors are diff from medicare to commercial.
an example. this one below. provider wants to charge out 71020 and 71101 we charge out global in our clinic.
"Procedure: Ribs unilat w PA CXR 3 vw
PA Chest and AP and Oblique left ribs
Clinical info: left anterior rib pain
Findings: There is no fracture, pulmonary contusion, pleural fluid or pneumothorax. A metallic marker was placed at the site of the patient's pain.
Heart size is enlarged, accentuated however by the AP projection; the pulmonary vascularity is normal and there is no pneumonia,nodular tumor or hilar lympahdenopathy.
Impression: 1. minimal linear scarring and/or atelectasis left lung base
2. mild cardiomegaly with heart size accentuated by the AP projection
3. No rib fx."
any feedback would be appreciated thanks!
