HCPCS code R0075: Portable X-ray transport, multiple patients2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

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

What R0075 covers

R0075 identifies transportation of portable X-ray equipment and personnel to a home or nursing home for a trip on which more than one patient is seen. The code describes the trip to the facility or location, rather than a separate transportation charge for each patient. A separate code covers interpretation.

Medicare assigns R0075 physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The HCPCS pricing method directs the contractor to price the code under the physician fee schedule. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply. Report the code per trip when more than one patient is seen; the code selection is based on that distinction, not on the number of patients beyond it.

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.
