Question:

When can 90316 and 93018 be billed separately?

Answer:

Codes 93016 and 93018 are the component codes of 93015. They should only be used separately to identify the components of service that the physician performs if the physician does not own the equipment or employ the personnel when the service is provided in a hospital-based setting. Note that Medicare does not accept code 93015 for the professional component of this service in a setting where the physician does not own the equipment.
