What is the correct coding for a sonohysterography? My docs evaluate the uterus, ovaries and cervix PRIOR to infusing the saline, then they do the infusion and then the actual sonohysterography. Would it be appropriate to code both 76830 and 76831 with a modifier -59 on one, and 58340 for the infusion?
TIA!!

I code 76831 and 58340 for the catheterization and introduction of saline

Are you getting paid for billing both?

Wendy - no one from our A/R dept has come to me with a denial for any of the three codes...yet.
