Payers are denying 76830 and 76817 (transvaginal U/S) when performed with 76856 and 76801 (transabdominal U/S), but there are no edits between the code pairs.

The edits were deleted years back. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Actually, you probably need to check with your payer and see if they follow the ACR (American College of Radiology) Appropriateness Guidelines. If they do, you probably need to make your physician aware. I have attached the link to the guidelines. It has to do with certain procedures being more appropriate for a diagnosis.
