If the provider is using fluoro guidance for needle placement do I add 77002 or 77003 w/TC modifier?

I grabbed the 2020 CPT book, and on page 437 of mine there is a table for when imaging is included or billed separately.
64445 shows billed separately. 77003 is for spinal fluoro guidance. Why do you think you need a TC modifier?

I was looking up another procedure ( SI joint injections) and it said to use w/TC modifier when billing for ASC. This is all new to me so I am not sure if it was correct.
Thank you for your response.

Are you billing for the ASC or is the provider doing it in office? I always default in my brain to office, because that's what we did when we were using fluoro.
