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.

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.
