Wiki Cervical length

[drufolo]

I'm a little confused as to the correct CPT to use for the Cervical Length
our Prenatal Dept. is new to getting pre-cert and auths.
Is the CPT 76817 correct?

Did they do a transvaginal to report the 76817? And what is the gestational age? Look at the 76801-76805

Re: Cervical Length

According to ACOG, CPT 76817 may include
1) Evaluation of the embryo(s) & gestational sac(s)
2) Evaluation of the maternal uterus, adnexa, and/or cervix
Hope this helps.

Not sure if they did a transvaginal because we were checking benefits for the patient.
Thank you
