Oregon rates for HCPCS 72220

An X-ray captures images of the sacrum and coccyx, the bones at the very base of the spine commonly known as the tailbone. It is typically ordered after a fall or injury to check for a fracture, or to evaluate persistent tailbone pain. The images focus specifically on this lower spinal region rather than the entire spine.
