CPT 71101 is (ribs, unilateral; including PA chest, minimum of 3 views), but we are not doing a PA chest. According to the radiology tech, the views taken are an AP view, 2 obliques and lower ribs (total of 4 views) The other CPT codes are for bilateral ribs. The only code available for ribs, unilateral without PA chest is only for (2 views) 71100. How should this be coded?

Thank you in advance for your help!
