Radiology - profee billing for multiple studies

[Shawna Paul]

Does anyone have any information on the profee billing of multiple studies performed on the same day (i.e. three chest x-rays on one specific day). Can these each be billed or is there a rule that you can only bill for so many a day.

Thanks to all who have any information.

Hi,

My suggestion is we can bill multiple studies for the same day with approp modifier and also based on the cc.

NCCI Policy Manual for Medicare Services on the CMS website contains some helpful information...

Have a look at Chapter 9 for radiology.

Hope this helps,

You can bill for each and use the 76/77 modifiers. There's no limit on the number per day that can be billed but some insurances have their own policies on how many they're going to pay for per day.
