My provider has asked me to research x-ray codes. We are an out of network provider.
We use to Bill code 72010 prior of 2016. In 2016 they deleted that code and changed it to 72082. Before 2015 we got $240.00 for the 72010. Once they deleted that code and we have to use 72082 our rate now is $ 140.00. They stated per the RVU for that code that is the new rate.
Has anybody else ran into this or is it just are Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey?
We could bill out each view, like 72050,72110,72080.
I wish they had a code for cervicalthoric AP/LAT. But they don't. The have lumbarsacral AP/LAT. Because that is really what we do.
Thank you for your help.
