It has become common practice to bill 72010 rather than the three codes that better describe what is being done, because of the practice of insurers “bundling” multiple x-ray codes into a single code. Your responsibility is to bill the codes that best describe the service that was actually performed. If that is the case, rather than billing 72082 (or even 72084), billing 72040, radiologic examination, spine, cervical 2 or 3 views, 72070, radiologic examination, spine, thoracic, 2 views, and 72100, radiologic examination, spine, lumbosacral 2 or 3 views, better describes the service. For example, if the doctor wants to see AP and lateral views of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions of the spine, they will often actually take six views, two views of each region. If a DC is taking x-rays of the full spine, or most of it, they usually are doing it as a series of x-rays. For DCs, this is usually done for a scoliosis screening. These four new codes are designed to describe an x-ray view on a large enough film that captures an image from the skull through the sacral spine. 72084, radiological examination, spine, entire thoracic and lumbar, including skull, cervical and sacral spine, minimum of 6 views.72083, radiological examination, spine, entire thoracic and lumbar, including skull, cervical and sacral spine, 4-5 views.
