# CPT 73620

> Medicare paid $26.14 for CPT 73620 in the office (non-facility) setting and $26.14 in a facility under the Q2 2016 Physician Fee Schedule, effective April 2016. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2016, when it increased 1.0%.

## What it is

A plain radiograph of the foot taken from two angles, typically a front-on and an angled or side projection. This is the shorter of the two standard foot X-ray codes: it captures enough to answer a focused question, such as whether an obvious fracture is present, but does not include the full set of projections used for a complete survey of the foot. The more thorough study, with three or more views, is coded separately.
