CPT 73140 xray finger (s): Can you bill more than one unit?
thelakeshow2k:
Dr performed xray on 3 fingers on right hand. Does 73140 cover all fingers on one hand and should be billed 1 unit or should we bill 3 units for each finger? thanks.
Michele:
It doesn't go by the number of fingers xrayed, but by the number of views taken.

thelakeshow2k:
Let me rephrase: if the dr xrays 3 fingers with 2 views each, i will be using cpt 73140 but will i bill 73140 x3 or x1?
Michele:
Ohhhh, Ok, that would be 3 separate xrays of the fingers, 2 views each, which would be 3 units, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is not processed correctly, and it required an adjustment.

Yes we can bill Three xrays for different sites.
to avoid either denials as duplicate or inclusive.
Use MODIFIERS F1 to F9 depending upon the digit for which X-ray taken
