Question:
Can or should a radiologist bill for both 74320 and 92611? My understanding is that 92611 is typically billed by a speech pathologist, but I would appreciate confirmation or clarification. Since the code refers to a ‘motion fluoro’ study using ‘cine or video recording,’ I’m unsure whether a speech pathologist would have the necessary equipment to perform this exam.
Answer:
The speech pathologist should report 92611. According to AMA CPT® Assistant 2020 Issue 8 (August), “code 92611 describes the typical work of a speech-language pathologist when performing the study in conjunction with the service represented by code 74230 which is reported by a radiologist.”
