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

What 73630 covers

This study images the foot in at least three distinct projections, typically dorsoplantar (AP), oblique, and lateral, and may include weight-bearing views when alignment matters. It is ordered for suspected metatarsal, Lisfranc, or midfoot fractures, hallux valgus and other deformities, diabetic foot ulcers with possible osteomyelitis, arthritis, foreign bodies, and surgical planning or follow-up. Podiatrists and orthopedic practices often perform it in the office; emergency departments, urgent care centers, and hospital outpatient imaging departments also perform it. A radiologist or treating physician interprets the images.

Select this code when at least three distinct foot views are obtained; a two-view series falls under the limited foot code. Documentation should identify the views obtained and include a written interpretation of the findings. The professional component covers interpretation and is reported with modifier 26; the technical component covers equipment and staff and is reported with modifier TC. Billing without either modifier claims the global service when the billing entity furnishes both components. When both feet receive complete studies, report each side with RT and LT; CMS pays each side at full value.

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.
