Sunrise View only CPT

[jkennebeck]

What CPT should be used for sunrise view of knees? Patient is sitting, not standing and it's a single film. Have looked at 73560 (50 can't be applied), 73565 (patient isn't standing) - any suggestions? Thank you!

You can try billing 73560 with a 50 and 52 modifier. For the future, tell them they have to perform at least 2 views each side minimum.

Sunrise view is typically part of a series like 73562 AP, lateral and sunrise. If they are doing only a sunrise view I would code as 73560.
