One of my surgeons specializes in conditions of the thyroid. Often times he has the patient scheduled in 3 months to come back to review labs and perform an in office ultrasound. Often he wants to bill an o.v. with the ultrsound. I do not feel this is appropriate since the u.s. was planned 3 months earlier. True, it is not a procedure but still do not think the E&M should be billed seperately. Any insight is appreciated. I have read through the NCCI and looked through the radiology section of the Medicare manual....still cannot find anything.
