Count Views for Scoliosis Examination
Question: How can we report the radiological examination of scoliosis? Can we report code 72069?
New York Subscriber
Answer: The code 72069 was deleted earlier this year. You will no longer submit this code for radiological examination of the spine for scoliosis.
The new codes introduced this year are based on the number of views your physician obtains. You have the following four codes which you can submit for the radiological examination for scoliosis.
