Payment for Radiology Services
Medicare will pay separately for certain radiology services that are provided integral to covered surgical procedures in ASCs. For radiology services to be considered an integral part and to be considered separate, these services must be provided:
• Immediately before surgery.
• During surgery.
Or,
• After a covered surgical procedure.
Payment for ancillary radiology services is made to ASCs at the lesser of the ASC rate or the amount of the non-facility practice expense under the MPFS. The ASC may receive separate payment for the technical component of the covered ancillary radiology procedure.
Modifier TC will indicate that the ASC facility is billing for the technical component of the radiology service.
Radiology services that have a PC/TC indicator on the MPFS database must be submitted with the TC modifier to indicate payment for the technical component of the procedure.
Effective January 1, 2009, the ordering/referring physician must be reported on claims for diagnostic services submitted by ASCs. This information should be reported in Items 17 and 17b or the electronic equivalent.
