About 72114: Complete lumbosacral spine X-ray with bending
Reports a complete lumbosacral spine radiographic study with at least six views, including bending views, to assess alignment and motion-related changes.
This study uses multiple X-ray views of the lumbar and sacral spine, including bending views that show alignment in different positions. It is commonly ordered when a clinician evaluating back pain or suspected spinal instability needs to assess movement-related changes, such as with suspected spondylolisthesis. A radiologic technologist acquires the images, and a physician interprets them in an office, imaging center, or hospital setting.
Report 72114 when the documented examination includes at least six views and bending views; select the code based on the study performed, not simply the diagnosis or order wording. The record should support the lumbosacral anatomy examined, the views obtained, the clinical reason, and the interpretation. Medicare recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service, and an unmodified claim represents the global service.

72114 billing questions
How does 72114 differ from 72110?
72114 describes a study with at least six views, including bending views. 72110 is used for a four-or-more-view lumbosacral study that does not meet the specific bending-view criteria for 72114.
When should 72120 be reported instead?
Use 72120 for bending views alone, rather than a complete study that includes bending views and at least six total views.
Can the professional and technical services be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the physician's interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports reporting 72114?
Document the lumbosacral study, the clinical indication, and the views actually obtained. The record should support at least six views, including bending views.
Where these rates come from
