Reader Question:

Navicular View of Wrist

Published on Mon Jul 01, 2002

Question: How can we get paid for a navicular view of the wrist when it is done with a three-view study? Alaska Subscriber Answer: You should report 73110 (Radiologic examination, wrist; complete, minimum of three views) for the entire service. Navicular is considered an additional view and, since the code description designates a "minimum" of three views, it will be included in the payment for 73110.
