When performing an insertion of non-tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter (36556) under ultrasound guidance who may bill for the ultrasound guidance. Can a general surgeon bill for this or is this for the radiologist only?
 
I code for anesthesia and if our doctors/nurses place the line, then we bill for it with 76937 with a modifier 26. I would assume if your doctor places it, then he can charge for it, but I am not an expert.
