I work in a pain management office. I know when our provider does a facet injection, fluoroscopy is bundled. My question is, can I bill 77003 with a -TC modifier for use of the equipment?
 
That's an interesting question. I never would have thought about that. I also work in a pain management office and would be curious to see the answer to this as well.
 
If the flouro is bundled into the primary code, how can we ethically bill for the flouro and stick a TC modifier on it?
Isn't that considered fracturing out charges?

I would never do it, bundled is bundled for a reason, just saying.
 
I agree with Michelle, and since it's already bundled into the procedure the insurance carrier would just deny it as inclusive.
