Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 71021

This covers a chest X-ray series that includes two standard views of the chest along with an additional angled view aimed at better showing the top portion (apex) of the lungs.

It provides a more complete look at the upper chest compared to a basic two-view chest X-ray.
