As an anesthesia group, we use 76937 & 76942 for vascular access and needle placement. We own our ultrasound machine. In the hospital setting, Medicare will not pay for the technical and professional components together for 76937 & 76942 stating denial as invalid place of service when done in the hospital. Would it be appropriate to still bill these two codes with a modifier 26 to at least get reimbursed for the professional component portion that our doctors are doing even though we own the ultrasound equipment? Any advice regarding this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
