Diagnostic radiology

About 70310: Limited intraoral dental radiograph

Reports a limited intraoral radiographic examination of the teeth involving two or three views, such as imaging targeted to localized dental symptoms.

This code describes a limited intraoral dental radiographic examination consisting of two or three views, rather than a single view or a full-mouth series. It may be used when evaluating a localized concern such as tooth pain, suspected dental infection, or dental trauma. A dental professional typically obtains the images in a dental office or other outpatient setting; a qualified practitioner interprets them.

Report the code once for the two- or three-view examination, not separately for each image. Documentation should support the number of views and the teeth or area examined. The service has professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. CMS separately prices the 26 and TC components.

CMS billing rules for 70310

Professional and technical components
Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.

70310 billing questions

When should I report this instead of 70300?

Use 70310 for an intraoral examination with two or three views. Code 70300 is for a single view.

How does this differ from 70320?

70310 describes a limited two- or three-view examination; 70320 is for a complete full-mouth series.

Should the code be reported once per view?

No. Report one unit for the two- or three-view examination, rather than a separate unit for each image.

How are the professional and technical portions billed?

Use modifier 26 for the interpretation and modifier TC for the equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the clinical reason for imaging, the teeth or area examined, and that the examination included two or three views.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
