Diagnostic Radiology Policy Update

Interim HCPCS codes X0700 (portable X-ray, two patients) and X0702 (portable X-ray, three or more patients) will no longer be reimbursable. Providers should use national HCPCS codes R0070 (transportation of portable X-ray equipment and personnel to home or nursing home, per trip to facility or location; one patient seen) or R0075 (…more than one patient seen, per patient) when billing for portable X-ray services. In addition, HCPCS code Q0092 (set-up portable X-ray equipment) will also be reimbursable. None of the above codes may be split-billed.
