Hi there,
I have a provider that is questioning if he can bill for the USG when he uses it to place an axillary block (or other blocks) that is being used as the mode of anesthesia and NOT post op pain management.
Any help or reference on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
 
I wouldn't think it's separately billable. The mode of anesthesia is the block and he used USG to place that block. I think it's wrapped up as part of the anesthetic.
