CPT Code 73502: Radiologic Exam, Hip, 2 -3 Views, Unilateral

Use CPT code 73502 when a radiologic examination of one hip with two to three views is required to assess conditions like trauma, arthritis, or dislocation.

No, CPT 73502 covers hip X-rays of only one side. For bilateral studies, report the code twice with modifier LT and RT, or use modifier 50, depending on the payer.

A qualified healthcare provider or technologist operates the X-ray machine, but a licensed radiologist interprets the hip X-ray images and provides the diagnostic report.
