Pt has U/S (76817) during first trimester for Dx 640.00 - threatened abortion. Symptoms cramping and bleeding. If after the ultrasound everything is found to be fine, can we still bill the U/S w/ Dx 640.00?
 
You should use 640.03 (fifth digit 3 to indicate this is an antepartum condition) and yes even if the pregnancy is fine, you can use 640.03, which just indicates "hemorrhage in early pregnancy; threatened AB", not missed or complete AB.
