Wiki prostate volume echo, not for brachytherapy treatment planning

[kathleenl]

Hi,

I have a urologist who is billing out for 76873, echo, transrectal, prostate volume study for brachytherapy treatment planning, separate procedure. However, there are no orders or plan to treat these patient's with brachytherapy. Can this cpt code still be used if they do indeed take prostate volume measurements?

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks
Kathleen
