Illinois rates for HCPCS 73020

This is a basic X-ray exam of the shoulder, capturing a single image to check the joint and surrounding bone. It can help identify fractures, dislocations, or arthritis, though a single image provides less detail than a study using multiple angles. It's often used for a quick initial look or a focused follow-up check.
