Order states RENAL & BLADDER US for chronic UTI's
Findings: The kidneys are normal in size, contour, and echogenicity. The right kidney measures 8.8 x 3.3 x 3.9 cm and the left kidney measures 9.3 x 3.8 x 3.5 cm. The aortic bifurcation is unremarkable. The pre-void bladder volume meausre 43 cc and the post-void bladder volume measures 2 cc. The bladder as not distended with much urine and there was bladder wall thickening, presumably related to the nondistended state. No hydronephrosis or other significant abnormalities were seen. The iliac vessels were grossly unremarkable
Impression: Grossly unremarkable study with a poorly distended bladder.
Would in be appropriate to bill both 76770 and 76857-59?
