Our OB/GYN practice orders abdominal circumference only ultrasounds for patient with gestational diabetes. We are having a debate about which code should be used, 76815 or 76816. I was leaning toward 76816 since this is a growth parameter. There is some confusion because this is a quick ultrasound that takes the same amount of time as the other services that we code with 76815 and all of the parameters are not performed such as BPD and femur length. The documentation has the AC size, number of fetuses, position, and whether the amniotic fluid volume is normal or abnormal. Can someone please let me know what you are billing if you are performing these scans? Thank you!
