Explanation
Answer: B - The correct code for a complete chest x-ray is 71030 (Radiologic Examination, Chest, Complete, Minimum of 4 Views).71034is the only code that needs to be included because the procedure description does not mention fluoroscopic guidance. Code 71020 only allows for 2 views of the chest, while codes 71021, 71022, and 71023 include other specifications that are not included in the procedure description.
