Good morning,
Our OB/GYN dept had a patient that was being seen for her routine prenatal visit. She complained of headache for the last 2 days and during the visit her BP was elevated and they did a bedside ultrasound and also performed a BPP with the documented scoring system and medical reason of elevated BP. My question: is there a requirement of image retention to bill out the BPP when being performed with the use of the bedside ultrasound only? And would you provide the resources please as I will need to submit this to our Didactic Meeting. I thought I read in the ACR Radiology Coding Source that reporting of this score satisfies the required documentation of the study being performed, I want to make sure before I submit this information.
Bedside ultrasound preformed, Presentation: Cephalic, Placenta: Anterior, AFI: 23, MVP: 7 and EFW: 7 lbs 3 oz
Biophysical Profile (BPP):
Fetal movement: 2/2
Fetal tone: 2/2
Fetal breathing: 2/2
AFI: 23 cm
Score 8/8
Thank you so much!
