Question: Codify Member Answer: If the physician performs a second ultrasound, consider whether 76857 (... limited or follow-up [e.g., for follicles]) would apply. Medicare also lists an MUE of 1 for 76857. You may override an MUE (using an appropriate modifier) when your radiologist performs and documents a medically necessary number of services that exceed the limit, but be prepared to support your coding choice. Published MUEs are available from www.cms.gov/NationalCorrectCodInitEd/.
