Modifiers can be applied to provide additional information about the service. For example, modifier 76 can indicate a repeat procedure performed by the same provider. Refer to current CPT guidelines for appropriate modifier usage with 70355.

Medical necessity must be established for each use of this code. The documentation should support the clinical rationale for the x-ray, linking it to the patient's symptoms, diagnosis, or treatment plan.

In simple words: A panoramic x-ray of your upper and lower jaws is taken to check for any fractures, injuries, or other problems.

This code represents a panoramic radiographic image of the maxilla and mandible (upper and lower jaw). It's often used to diagnose fractures, injuries, or other abnormalities in the jaw area.

Example 1: A patient presents to the emergency department after a fall, with suspected mandibular fracture. A panoramic x-ray (70355) is ordered to assess the extent of the injury., A patient is scheduled for dental implant surgery. A panoramic x-ray (70355) is taken preoperatively to evaluate bone structure and plan the implant placement., A patient experiences persistent jaw pain. A panoramic x-ray (70355) is ordered to rule out temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or other dental pathologies.

Documentation should include the reason for the x-ray (e.g., trauma, pain, pre-surgical planning), the area imaged (maxilla and mandible), and the interpretation of the findings.
