Greetings,

I am struggling to get reimbursement for when billing for three Ultrasound Codes. I code as follows:

93976 Doppler US
76857 Non Obstetrical Pelvic Exam
76830 Transvaginal US

I bill each one with a 59 modifier to indicate they are separate procedures, but only get paid for Non Obstetrical Pelvic Exam (76857) and Transvaginal US (76830). BCBS is always denying the Doppler US. Is there a reason for this? Or there something I need to add?

Thanks,
Mark Awad, COBGC, CPC
