How does one report B-readings of chest X rays (views include anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique)? Which CPT codes and/or modifiers should be used to report the film, its interpretation, and the B-reading?
Answer:
The radiologist should report the appropriate number of chest X-ray views with modifier 22, Increased procedural services, appended to indicate the increased complexity in reporting B-readings (ie, completion of form with five different sections and grade).
