Chest x-ray and tube placement

Date: Jun 29, 2011

Question:

I was at your recent seminar. I want to thank you for a great experience. I’ve learned so much and can’t wait for next year’s seminar. One of the many things that I’ve learned is that we should not bill for a chest x-ray on the same date as any line or tube placement. I’ve also tried to research and googled this information but was unsuccessful. Please forward the document to support this so I can properly educate the radiology department.
