We have been debating the use of 76641/76642 when an automated breast ultrasound is performed. Is it best to use an unlisted code 76999? Or is it acceptable to use the ultrasound CPT? Some are worried about using the ultrasound code since the exam is automated, however, the CPT description for 76641/2 does not mention technique. Please help!

Thanks,
Sarah
