Hi all!
I need help; one of our radiologists is questioning an order that we receive from our ER docs. Order states two view hip, due to injury. The techs are instructed, however, to xray one view of the hip, and one AP view of the pelvis. Does CPT code 73510 cover this? Also if a pelvis is being done, even if it's only view, does the doc need to include the pelvic view in his order?
Thanks so much for any help,
Traci Wilson, CPC
