Hi Guest!

Great question - it will depend on the field of view for the xray. Here are the full descriptions of those two codes:

70150 - Radiologic examination, facial bones; complete, minimum of 3 views
70486 - Computed tomography, maxillofacial area; without contrast material

United Healthcare states to use 70486 for CBCT in their radiology medical policy, here is a link to that policy (see page 89):

Hope this helps!

Hello -

I do medical billing for Oral Maxillofacial surgeons. One of the surgeons has the understanding that code 70150 can be used for a CBCT. I have the understanding that code 70486 is to be used. Can you help clarify if code 70150 can be used for a complete (both mandible & maxilla) CBCT?
