Bilateral Hip X-ray, Extended Views

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 73522

An X-ray exam captures a more thorough set of images of both hip joints than a basic hip X-ray, giving a fuller picture of the bones and joint spaces on each side. It is used to evaluate hip pain, arthritis, injury, or follow up on a hip implant when more detail is needed than the standard views provide. Both hips are imaged in the same visit for comparison.
