Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The professional component of an x-ray is usually reported by a physician which includes the interpretation, supervision and provision of a report.

An x-ray service is made up of two distinct components which are ; Technical and professional components hence a coder at a clinic can as well report both the Technical and professional components but he has to do it separately.

This is simply because the technical component helps for proper billing while the Professional component involves the interpretation, supervision and written report as regards to the x-ray
