This time of year, with people falling on the ice, I am getting a lot of radiology reports for er treatment of hip and pelvis x-rays. Many are seperate reports for each patient encounter. One showing a right hip x-ray with no mention of the pelvis, and another showing an AP of the pelvis. The way I understand the definition of 75310, it is for the unilateral view of the hip and an AP of the pelvis. I have been coding this 75310-52 since there is no mention of the pelvis.
I have been feeling like this may not be correct but I have exhausted all my local resources and am getting shrugged shoulders. What other opinions are out there? How would you handle these?
