Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 73564 covers

This study obtains four or more distinct radiographic views of one knee. A series may combine AP and lateral views with oblique, tangential patellar, tunnel, or standing weight-bearing views. Orthopedic, sports medicine, and primary care clinicians order these images to evaluate osteoarthritis, fractures, patellar alignment, or knee replacement position. Technologists acquire the images in physician offices, imaging centers, and hospital outpatient departments; a radiologist or treating physician interprets them.

Select the code by counting distinct views obtained of each knee. The imaging record should identify the views or their number; a label such as “complete knee” alone does not establish the count. One or two views are reported with 73560, and three with 73562. Modifier 26 identifies the separately billed interpretation and report, while modifier TC identifies the separately billed imaging equipment, staff, and supplies. Billing without either modifier represents the global service. When four or more views are obtained of both knees, count and report each knee separately; CMS pays each side at 100% when performed bilaterally.

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.
