Hello and thank you in advance for your assistance!

The radiologist is documenting either "spot magnification radiography" or "spot compression view". the provider submitted G0206 (dx mammo producing direct digital image, unilat, all views). I am having a difficult time clarifying that the above provider verbiage supports the HCPCS code submitted.

If you can recommend some Regs it would also be appreciated.

Thanks you:)

G0206 is a digital diagnostic mammogram. Is that what was done?
"spot magnification" and "spot compression" are just types of views (focusing on a particular spot).
Sometimes when a mammogram is done, the physician interpreting the mammo sees something on the mammo that requires additional imaging focused on a particular area (spot).
