About 70320: Complete intraoral dental radiographic survey

Reports a complete set of intraoral dental radiographs covering the dentition, rather than a limited tooth series or a panoramic image.

This service covers a complete intraoral radiographic survey of the teeth and supporting structures, using multiple projections to evaluate the dentition across the mouth. Dentists, oral surgeons, and other qualified dental or imaging professionals may arrange or perform the image acquisition in a dental office or imaging setting; a qualified practitioner interprets the study. It is distinct from a single-view or limited series and from one panoramic image of the jaws.

Report the complete survey when the performed examination includes the full-mouth series, not just because several images were taken. The record should support the extent of the study and include the interpretation when the reporting practitioner bills for that work. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

70320 billing questions

When should this code be used instead of 70310?

Use 70320 for a complete intraoral survey of the mouth. Code 70310 describes a partial series rather than the complete survey.

How does this differ from a panoramic dental image?

This code represents a complete series of intraoral projections. Code 70355 represents a panoramic image of the jaws, a different imaging approach.

Can the interpretation and image acquisition be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports reporting the complete survey?

Document that a complete intraoral series was obtained and retain the images and interpretation supporting the examination. A limited set of views does not support reporting the complete survey.

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.
