Hi,
My physicians do fluroscopy, ultrasound and stereotatic guidance for many of there surgical procedures. We code the professional component for 77001-26, 76942-26 and 77031-26.
They incorporate the interpretation of these procedures within the surgical report.
In some reading that I have been doing, I'm not sure if this is correct.
Does this portion of the procedure have to be documented on a separate paper?
Also, is there any examples of how the documentation should read that I can show my physicians.
In a separate quesiton I am also looking for documentation for radiology procedure 93971 as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
