Radiology
About 70110: Mandibular radiographic study, four or more views
Reports a radiographic examination centered on the mandible when the study includes four or more views, such as in evaluating suspected jaw injury.
This study produces a series of radiographic images focused on the mandible. It may be performed in an outpatient imaging department, emergency department, or other setting with diagnostic radiography. A technologist acquires the images, and a qualified interpreting practitioner reviews them; common clinical reasons include jaw trauma or concern for a mandibular fracture. The study is directed to the mandible, not a general survey of the facial bones or a dedicated temporomandibular-joint examination.
Select this code when the documented mandibular examination includes four or more views; use the lower-view sibling when fewer than four are obtained. The report should support the body site examined, the views acquired, and the interpretation. CMS recognizes separately priced professional and technical components: report modifier 26 for interpretation only, modifier TC for equipment and staff only, or bill without a component modifier for the global service.

70110 billing questions
When should 70110 be selected instead of 70100?
Use 70110 for a mandibular study with four or more views. Use 70100 when the study has fewer than four views.
Is the code based on each image?
No. The view count distinguishes the mandibular study level; do not report a separate unit for each image.
How are the professional and technical portions reported?
Use modifier 26 for the interpretation and modifier TC for the equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
Does a facial-bone study belong under this code?
Use 70110 when the examination is focused on the mandible. A study directed to the broader facial skeleton is represented by the facial-bone radiography codes.
What documentation supports 70110?
The record should identify the mandible as the imaged anatomy, document four or more views, and include the interpreting practitioner's findings.
