I am very new to the world of ultrasound and am in need of some guidance. Currently our staff codes and bills for everything looked at during a study. For example. A doctor orders an ultrasound of the kidneys, during that exam they will also view the vascular components therefore they will bill:
76770 - Ultrasound, retroperitoneal; complete
93976 - Duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal....; limited study
Since they cannot complete the 76770 without doing the 93976 is this coding correct? I am wondering if they should only be billing for the 76770?
Also if you have any recommendations on seminars for this specialty that would be wonderful!
