Ask Dr. Z

Under what circumstances can codes 76885 and 76886 be billed during the same encounter (e.g., can they be billed separately when both static and dynamic tests are performed, and findings for static test and dynamic test are reported in separate paragraphs)? Under what circumstances can code 73562 or 73564 be billed with 77073 during the same encounter? Would it be appropriate to report three views of the knee if three views of the knee are taken and one additional view is reported for “scanogram”? Diagnoses are knee pain and/or arthroplasty follow-up.
