Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · 78305 nationwide

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

What 78305 covers

A bone scan uses an injected radiopharmaceutical and a gamma camera to assess skeletal uptake in several regions. A nuclear medicine technologist performs the acquisition, and a radiologist or other qualified physician interprets the images. Typical clinical questions include evaluation of multifocal bone pain, suspected skeletal metastases, or possible bone infection involving more than one area. The study may be performed in a hospital or outpatient imaging center.

Choose this code when the documented examination covers multiple skeletal areas but is not a whole-body bone study or a three-phase study. The report should identify the regions imaged and include the interpreting physician’s findings. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for the interpretation, modifier TC for equipment and staff, or neither modifier when billing the global service. The claim should reflect the component actually furnished by the billing entity.
