X068
X068 – Calcaneus - two views
OHIP Laboratory Code — DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY · Schedule of Benefits
This service provides for a two-view X-ray of the calcaneus. The fee is split into a professional component (P fee) for interpretation and reporting, and a technical component (H fee) for the actual performance of the imaging. See for details.
When to Use
- Use X068 when a two-view radiographic examination of the calcaneus is required to evaluate for suspected fracture or bony pathology.
- Select X068 over X228 when the clinical request specifically necessitates only two views of the calcaneus rather than a more comprehensive foot or ankle series.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing X068 in conjunction with other foot or ankle X-ray codes for the same anatomical site may trigger a rejection for duplicate or overlapping services.
- Attempting to bill X068 for services rendered via PACS or teleradiology will result in a rejection, as the professional component requires an in-person or hospital-based diagnostic interpretation.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the professional component (P) and technical component (H) are correctly identified in your submission to avoid payment delays for the imaging facility versus the interpreting radiologist.
