My physician owns the machine used in these procedures. If he is performing the testing in one visit and then interpreting the test done on the next visit(different day), should we be billing this as:
first visit: 51729-TC
next visit: 51729-26
Not like this?
first visit: 51729
next visit: 99213
In HCPCS II book, the explaination for -TC says Technical component charges are institutional charges and not billed seperately by physicians...
But if he owns the machine this is allowed?
Thank you for your help!
