which cpt code is used for X-Ray of the thumb

 

[dmaec]

73120/73130 depending....

yes you use 73120/73130...even though our thumb is considered a finger to us out in the world, in cpt it's considered a hand. If you have a cpt CDR, look up 73140...it tells you to only use this code for coding digits 2-5.

You would billed 73140. The CPT code states 1st thru 5th digits to be billed
