One of our physicians asked me about using ultrasound guidance when placing labor epidurals. He heard it from some colleagues who say they are using ultrasound guidance but of course they all think they are getting paid for it. I checked the CPT book to see if there was an exclusion and I didn't see one. I know the epidural codes are changing for 2017 and also checked there. The new codes are with or without imaging guidance.
Has anyone billed for this before and did you get paid?
Thanks.
