Radiology
About 73100: Two-view wrist radiograph
Reports a two-view plain-film examination of the wrist for concerns such as pain, injury, or suspected fracture.
This code represents a plain-film examination of one wrist using two views. It is commonly ordered for wrist pain after a fall, suspected fracture, or evaluation of wrist alignment. A radiologic technologist obtains the images in an emergency department, urgent care clinic, orthopedic office, or imaging department; a physician, often a radiologist, interprets them. The code covers the wrist, not a separate hand or finger examination.
Select this service when the documented wrist study consists of two views; a study with three or more views is reported with the corresponding higher-view wrist code. The record should identify the wrist examined, the views obtained, and the clinical reason for imaging. Bill the global service without a component modifier, or report the interpretation with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff portion with modifier TC. For bilateral examinations, CMS pays each side separately at 100%; identify each side on the claim.

73100 billing questions
How does this differ from 73110?
73100 is for a two-view wrist study. Use 73110 when three or more wrist views are obtained.
When should modifier 26 or TC be used?
Use modifier 26 for the physician's interpretation alone and TC for the technical portion, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
How is a bilateral wrist examination reported?
CMS pays each side separately at 100% when both wrists are examined. Identify the right and left sides on the claim.
Can this code be used for a hand or finger study?
No. It represents wrist imaging; a separately performed hand or finger examination has its own code.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the wrist examined, the two views obtained, and the clinical indication, such as post-fall pain or suspected fracture.
