When doing a Egg harvest (58970) with us guidance (76948) can the dr charge for the Culture of oocyte(s), less than 4 days (89250) or is that strictly for the the doctors in the fertilization lab?
Also, when the embryo comes back for placement (58974) and the phys must assists embryo hatching with laser (89253) is that per embryo or for all embryo's being inserted weather its 1 or 6? can the doc during the same procedure also charge for the 89255 (preparation of embryo for transfer)? By the descriptions I think my doc can preform the 89253 and the 89255 since they mostly seem to belong on the inserting side of the procedure.

Another question when doc does a 58974 and uses transabdominal us is 76998 ok to use and would I need to add a modifier -TC or -26 to it if the doc is dictating his findings as he preforms the US? or is that considered a global?

Thanks for the help
