What 73060 covers

This service covers X-ray imaging of the humerus, the bone between the shoulder and elbow, using at least two views. It is commonly ordered for upper-arm pain, trauma, suspected fracture, or assessment of a known humeral injury. Radiologic technologists obtain the images in a hospital, imaging center, or office; a qualified practitioner interprets them and reports the findings.

Choose this code when the study is directed at the humerus, rather than only the shoulder, elbow, or forearm. The order and imaging documentation should identify the anatomic target and support the views obtained. The physician’s interpretation may be billed with modifier 26, the equipment and staff portion with modifier TC, or the complete service without either modifier. CMS separately prices the professional and technical components when those modifiers are used.

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.

73060 billing questions

When should this be used instead of a shoulder or elbow X-ray code?

Use this code when the humerus itself is the imaging target. Use a shoulder or elbow code when the examination is directed at that joint rather than the upper-arm bone.

What do modifiers 26 and TC represent?

Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, while TC identifies the technical portion, including equipment and staff. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting this service?

The order and imaging record should identify the humerus as the target and document the views obtained. The interpretation should address the findings relevant to the clinical question.

Can the humerus study be reported with shoulder or elbow imaging?

Separate imaging may be reported when the record supports distinct examinations of the humerus and an adjacent joint. The code selection should follow the anatomy actually imaged, not just the location of the patient’s symptoms.

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.
