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.

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.

73630 billing questions

When should 73630 be reported instead of 73620?

Use 73630 when at least three distinct views of the foot are performed. If only two views are obtained, report 73620 regardless of which two projections were taken.

How are bilateral foot X-rays reported?

When each foot receives a complete study, report the service once per side, typically on separate lines with RT and LT. CMS pays each side at full value.

Can a foot and ankle series be billed on the same date?

Yes, when both regions require evaluation and distinct foot and ankle views are obtained and interpreted. An inversion injury affecting both regions is one possible reason for separate studies.

Which modifier applies when a hospital takes the films and an outside radiologist reads them?

The radiologist reports 73630-26 for the interpretation, while the facility bills the technical portion. In an office, a practice that furnishes the equipment and staff reports 73630-TC if another physician separately bills the interpretation.

Are weight-bearing views a separate service?

No. Distinct weight-bearing projections are views within the foot study and can count toward the three-view minimum; weight bearing alone does not generate an additional code.

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.
