What 73660 covers
This study captures at least two radiographic views of one or more toes. It is commonly ordered after a toe injury or for localized pain, swelling, suspected fracture or dislocation, and evaluation of bone alignment. A technologist obtains the images in an office, imaging center, or hospital department; a radiologist or other qualified clinician interprets them.
Choose this code for a focused toe examination, rather than a study covering the foot or ankle. The order and report should identify the clinical concern and the toe or toes examined, and the record should support the views obtained. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 represents interpretation, modifier TC represents equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. For bilateral imaging, each side is paid separately at 100%.
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.

73660 billing questions
When should this be reported instead of a foot X-ray?
Use this code for a focused examination of one or more toes. Use a foot radiograph code when the study covers the foot rather than being limited to the toes.
How many views does the study include?
The code describes a toe examination with at least two views. Document the views obtained in the imaging record.
How are the professional and technical services reported?
Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, while modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
How is bilateral toe imaging paid?
CMS pays each side separately at 100% when both sides are imaged.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The order and report should support a focused toe study and identify the clinical concern and the toe or toes examined. Retain documentation of the views obtained.
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.
