Hello,
I am a coder for a radiology group who performs OB ultrasounds at hospitals. Many times an OB ultrasound is ordered for size and dates. There is a debate in our office as to whether we should code this as screening (V28.8 or V28.9) or as supervision of normal pregnancy (v22.1). If anyone has any insight, documentation or references regarding this it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
