I don't think there are any specific guidelines like there is for ultrasound guidance, but they do need to state in the report that they used the fluoro.

I do believe the CPT manual states that there must be radiographic documentation of final catheter position. I know that with our Doctors they don't always capture an image. So I was told to verify that an image was captured before billing for the Fluoroscopic guidance.
