Question:
Do you have any billing tips for new code 0815T?
Answer:
Understand that if 3-D image renderings are requested, performed, and documented, report code 76376 or 76377 as appropriate. For hospital-based services, on the CMS-1500 claim form, assign modifier 26 to describe the professional component. For Medicare patients, hospitals will not need to assign the TC modifier as billing on the UB-04 claim form implies billing for the “technical component.”
