If a chiropractor performs and reports X rays or other diagnostic testing such as range

If a chiropractor performs and reports X rays or other diagnostic testing such as range of motion studies on one or more dates of service, is it appropriate to later report an office visit code on a subsequent date of service solely for time spent relaying the results or findings of the tests to the patient? What if the chiropractor also performs and reports chiropractic manipulative treatment (CMT) on the same date that the report of findings takes place?
