Hi Megan Bryan!

You would only need to split 70486 into the "technical component" (modifier TC) and the "professional component" (modifier 26) if the company/person performing the read/interpretation is separately billing the patient's medical insurance for the read/interpretation. Otherwise, if you are paying that company directly for the read, you would bill 70486 without those modifiers.

Hope this helps!

Hello, wondering if when we do a Cone beam (70486) and send to another company for the reading - then would I use modifier 26 and add the fee for the reading to the Cone Beam fee?

Thank you
