To the best of my knowledge there is not a code just for the Doppler. There are specific Fetal Doppler Scan codes 76820 and 76821 and then the Doppler Echo 76827 and 76828.
Are the orders for the Ultrasounds asking for the Doppler or is the tech using the Doppler because it's available?

What type of doppler is the tech doing? (Fetal heart, unbilical artery, etc.)
look at codes 76820 to 76828.

I just started coding for a Rad and he has asked me the same...can he code separately for the doppler. I do not see a code description that fits to add to the existing charge of 76811.
When the Rad dictates the heart and beats, I believe it is included in the detailed fetal anatomic exam. Yet, my Rad has been told by "other coders" that he can charge additional for using doppler. Any feedback on this subject is appreciated.
