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

What Q0092 covers

Q0092 covers a portable x-ray supplier’s setup of radiographic equipment at the patient’s location, rather than in an imaging center. A technologist unloads, positions, and prepares the equipment for an ordered study. Typical locations include skilled nursing facilities, other long-term care facilities, and private homes. Portable chest, abdominal, and extremity radiographs are common examples. The code has no physician work RVUs; its technical-only payment reflects practice expense and a small malpractice component.

Report one setup for each patient served during a visit, even when the supplier performs more than one radiographic study. Report the imaging study separately and, when equipment is transported to the location, use the applicable transportation code: R0070 for one patient served on the trip or R0075 for multiple patients. Q0092 covers setup, not interpretation; a physician who separately interprets the study reports the appropriate imaging code with modifier 26. The supplier’s record should identify the order, patient location, studies performed, and setup provided.
