Intraoperative images

Date: Jan 5, 2018

Question:

Do you have any info from CMS regarding intraoperative x-rays? I'm working on creating orders that are statistical only so we at least get the productivity. We have a statistical only fluoro charge as well since we cannot charge for the use of the c-arm. This would be for facility billing only. I need resources so radiology gets credit for productivity that can't be charged due to CPT codes being bundled into the main procedure. Your help is deeply appreciated.
