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.

R0075 billing questions

When should I report R0075 instead of R0070?

Use R0075 when more than one patient is seen on the portable X-ray trip to the location. R0070 is for a trip when one patient is seen.

Is R0075 reported per patient or per trip?

It is reported per trip to the facility or location, not once for each patient. The multiple-patient code applies when more than one patient is seen on that trip.

Does R0075 include the X-ray interpretation?

No. R0075 is a technical-component-only transport code; a separate code covers interpretation.

How does Medicare price R0075?

It has physician fee schedule status C, so the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Special Medicare coverage instructions apply.

Does R0075 describe the portable X-ray examination itself?

No. R0075 describes transportation of the equipment and personnel, not the X-ray examination.

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.
