CPT® Code 73500

Deleted

The CPT® Code 73500 refers to a radiologic examination of the hip, specifically a unilateral view, which means that the X-ray is taken of one hip only. This procedure involves the use of X-ray technology to capture an image of the hip joint, allowing healthcare professionals to assess the structure and condition of the hip. The examination is crucial for diagnosing various conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, or degenerative diseases affecting the hip joint. It is important to note that if two or more images are required to provide a comprehensive view of the hip, the appropriate code to use would be CPT® Code 73510. This distinction is essential for accurate medical coding and billing, ensuring that the correct procedure is documented and billed for reimbursement purposes.
