64611 and 76942

[AN2114]

The doctor did an ultrasound guided botox injection of the submandibular and parotid gland. I'm getting conflicting information as to whether or not I can code 64611 and 76942 together. Do I just code 64611 for the injection or do I also code 76942 for the ultrasound guidance?

Thanks!

Yes, both can be reported for ultrasound guided botox injection of bilateral parotid and submandibular glands. If less than 4 glands were injected, append modifier 52 to 64611. Only one unit of 64611 and 76942 for the session.
