My facility is both a Clinic & has an ASC associated to it. When the surgeon is performing such procedures as removal of hardware, ORIF, ect. The are taking images and we are trying to figure out if we can bill the Radiology views? AHIMA & ACR state that a C-ARM is billable with radiology codes. AAOS states: “intraoperative supervision & positioning of imaging and/or monitoring equipment by operating surgeon or assistant.” is included in such procedures.
Is this billable? Is this being paid? Should I only be billing the TC component?
Any help is appreacited as I am just racking my brain on this one.
Thanks
Kim
