R0075 descriptor and code status

The October 2026 HCPCS Level II file describes R0075 as “Transportation of portable x-ray equipment and personnel to home or nursing home, per trip to facility or location, more than one patient seen”. It sits in the R section (diagnostic radiology services), listed with the other Other Level II codes.
