Wiki coding x ray in global period

[LLRodgers]

Can anyone tell me how to code an x-ray in a global period and get paid for it? I know x-rays are not covered under a global period but how do we get them paid (how to code it). Does the patient have to pay for the x-ray if in a global period?

Thank you for any help you can give!

X-rays are not part of the global surgical package. I don't see them denied when performed in the global period.
