Hello fellow Coders,
I need clarification on what you and your practice would do in the current situation we have right now in our OB/GYN practice.
Is it correct coding use of 76811 for ALL screening 18-20 week gestation ultrasounds done, if the sonographer is qualified and we have the proper equipment and a complete ultrasound is done? Or is it proper to be using the 76805 for these screening 18-20 wk gest ultrasounds?
I have done research through ACOG and their stand on this is that the 76811 should NOT be used to report a routine screening ultrasound.
I need feedback as to what my fellow Coders would do?
Thank you, and I appreciate any feedback I receive.
