CPT Code 73521: Radiologic Examination, Hip, Bilateral

CPT code 73521 represents a radiologic examination of the bilateral hips, requiring X-ray images with a minimum of 2 views to assess both hip joints.

No, Modifier -50 is not required for CPT 73521 because the bilateral nature of the procedure is already included in the code definition.

Standard imaging procedures for the 73521 CPT code usually include an anterior-posterior (AP) view and a lateral or frog-leg view to fully visualize the hips and pelvis.
