Dr is requesting 1 view bilateral knees standing/neutral and 1 view bilateral knees standing/bent....how would you bill this?
 
Sounds like he is doing 2 views of each knee.

73560 - RT
73560 - LT

Code: 73560 -X-RAY EXAM OF KNEE 1 OR 2
Long Description- Radiologic examination, knee; 1 or 2 views
 
He usually bills for 73565/both knees standing, but I get a MUE if I try to bill 2 units to cover both views done. He does a view of both knees standing in the straight leg/neutral position and one view of both knees standing in the bent knee position
