When reporting code 73110 on the CMS-1500 claim, how should units be reported?

The correct response regarding the reporting of code 73110 on the CMS-1500 claim is to report it as 1 unit. Code 73110 refers to a specific radiological procedure, and in billing practices, each individual procedure or service typically counts as one unit unless otherwise specified. Reporting it as a single unit indicates that one instance of the procedure was performed.

Modifiers, such as -51, are used in certain contexts to denote multiple procedures during the same session. In this case, since there is no indication in the billing guidelines for this code that it should be reported with a modifier when performed alone, it is appropriate to report just one unit without modifiers.

Therefore, the response aligns with the standard procedure for reporting this specific code, ensuring clarity and accuracy in the billing process.
