Our doc wants to do an untra sound on the glenoral humerous area, I'm thinking 76882 but not sure maybe 76881? any help will be appreicated

Thank you in advance
 
Ultrasound Extremity (76881) includes real time scans of a specific joint that includes examination of the muscles, tendons, joint, other soft-tissue structures, and any identifiable abnormality. A limited study (78882) is an examination of the extremity where a specific anatomic structure such as a tendon or muscle is assessed. In addition, the limited code would be used to evaluate a soft-tissue mass that may be present in an extremity where knowledge of its cystic or solid characteristics is needed.
