What 71110 covers

This diagnostic X-ray examines the ribs on both sides with three views. It may be ordered for bilateral focal rib pain or suspected rib injury after blunt chest trauma. A radiologic technologist obtains the images, and a radiologist interprets them. The service is performed in settings such as an outpatient imaging center, physician office, or hospital department.

Report 71110 when the documented study covers both sides and includes three views; a unilateral study or a bilateral study with additional views may call for a different code. The record should support the body sides examined and the views obtained. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. For billing, modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

71110 billing questions

When should 71110 be chosen instead of 71100?

Use 71110 for a bilateral three-view rib examination. Code 71100 describes a unilateral two-view examination.

Should modifier 50 be added?

No. The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

How are the interpretation and imaging service billed?

Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical portion. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting 71110?

The record should support that both sides of the ribs were examined and that the study included three views.

How does 71110 differ from 71111?

71110 is for a bilateral three-view rib study. 71111 is the related choice when the bilateral rib examination includes a chest view and at least four views overall.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
