Wiki 76937 Ultrasound Guidance for vascular access

[cweavercpc]

Does anyone have any information on billing this code for the year 2011? I have found Q/A posted online for Dr. Z but it is from August 2010. In the article it gave documentation requirements and covered ICD dx for this code. Does anyone have a Dr. Z book for 2011 with this information???

Any info would be of help!

Thanks!

Thanks Mary!

I feel like there are certain coverage restrictions for billing this.... Can someone look it up in their EnCoder???
