Procedure team called to perform paracentisis, ultrasound performed bedside, determined no good pocket identified so parasentisis was not performed. Can we bill for the ultrasound in this case? If so would pictures need to be available?
thank you,
:confused:

Need a image of the abdomen, then bill for a limited ultrasound (specific area).
