FMX COVERAGE
sandra asked 2 years ago
Do I need to take a FMX within the same date allowance as the bitewings? If I take bitewings in April, can I take the FMX in December?

It depends on the patient's insurance policy. Some plans count bitewings and FMX separately, while others group them under the same frequency limit for diagnostic X-rays like once every 12 or 36 months regardless of type. Clinically, there’s no issue with taking them in the same year if needed, but for coverage, it’s best to check with the specific insurance provider to avoid denials.
