Hello... I am reaching out for guidance and advise of the coding of a complete Vs. Limited Kidney US.
Per the CPT book it states "if clinical history suggests urinary tract pathology, complete evaluation of the kidneys and urinary bladder also comprises a complete retro peritoneal ultrasound."
Does anyone have advise regarding this statement when coding in a service like 3M's Code Assist. How are you interpreting the urinary tract pathology?
For example clinical indications states "CKD" both kidneys and the bladder are evaluated, what would you code? Limited or complete?
Are there any training guides or resources that you all use for guidance?


Thanks in advance....
