How should the professional portion of a 1view humurus be coded and billed?

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

How should the professional portion of a 1-view humurus be coded and billed? We receive films from facility that only include one image, but the only CPT code states “minimum of 2 views”. Do we automatically bill with a -52 modifier?
