Wiki 76937 once per operative session

[sgonzales]

I am unable to find information to support this from any where other than Super Coder. Does any one know if this has been published by MedLearn, SIR or the ACR?

I am wondering if we can bill 76937 if they performed all the requirements of the code at the Right Internal Jugular and then access the right femoral vein and perform ultrasound guidance again with all requirements met.

If this meets criteria for modifier 59, you can code more than once. Since the femoral is a separate location from the jugular, even though its the same surgical session, OK to use 76937 twice. Of course, documentation must include permanent image recording, vessel patency and observation of needle access along with medical necessity for both locations. Hope this helps.
