About 70332: Temporomandibular joint arthrography
Reports contrast arthrography of a temporomandibular joint when radiographic imaging is used to evaluate joint structures and suspected internal derangement.
This examination uses contrast placed in a temporomandibular joint to produce radiographic images for assessment of joint structures, such as when internal derangement or disc displacement is suspected. A radiologist, often working with an oral and maxillofacial specialist, performs or supervises the imaging and interprets the resulting study. It is generally encountered in outpatient diagnostic imaging settings when routine TMJ views are not the requested examination.
Choose 70332 for the arthrographic study rather than routine TMJ radiographs or MRI. Documentation should identify the clinical indication and side examined, describe the arthrographic procedure and imaging obtained, and include the interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 reports interpretation, modifier TC reports equipment and staff, and no modifier represents the global service. When both sides are examined, each side is paid separately at 100%.

70332 billing questions
How does 70332 differ from routine TMJ radiographs?
70332 is for contrast arthrography of the joint. Routine radiographic views without arthrography are represented by codes such as 70328 or 70330.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Billing without either modifier represents the global service.
How is a bilateral examination handled?
CMS pays each side separately at 100% when both joints are examined. Documentation should make clear that the arthrographic study was performed on each side.
What documentation supports reporting 70332?
The record should support the clinical reason for arthrography, identify the side examined, describe the contrast arthrographic imaging, and contain the interpretation.
Should 70332 be reported with 70336 for the same joint evaluation?
70332 represents contrast arthrography, while 70336 represents MRI of the TMJ. Select the code for the imaging method actually performed rather than reporting both to represent one examination.
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.
