One of our clients is going to start doing radiology in their office. Radiology is fairly new to me. The question I have is on how to bill an initial radiology service? what I mean by that is say a gentleman comes in for his initial visit with our physician because he is having lower back pain so prior to him being seen the physician we do a 72110. Do we use l-spine pain as the diagnosis since the service is being done prior to the physician seeing him? Do we use what the physician diagnosis him with after he has seen him and reveiwed the x-ray? Or do we make are diagnosis based on what the radiologists interpretation of the x-ray is?
Any help anyone can give on this would be appreciated. If you know of any good resources for radiology billing that would be great also.
