Hello,

I have a report for CT hip, knee and ankle. Can I bill 73700 x3 or just 73700?

Thanks,

Lis
 
I would report just 73700 x 1 unless the hip, knee and ankle are not all on the same side, as CPT 73700 is CT Lower Extremity w/o contrast.

Hip, knee and ankle are all components of the lower extremity.

Medicare has a medically unlikely edit set for a maximum payment of 2 units per day. The rational probably being 1 for the right and the other for the left.

Hope this helps,
