Sub:1.can we use 76937, for us guidance puncture of vein
2.can we use 76937, for us guidance puncture of artery
Does the following wording fulfill the requirement for 76937:
"Ultrasound of the right internal jugular vein for access was performed.
After successfully identifying a patent right internal jugular vein, real-time songographic guidance was used to puncture the vein. A permanent recording was created for the patient record."(36010, 76937-26 is this correct)
Must we indicate that "a patent vessel could not be visualized"?
Also can we use similar wording for femoral artery puncuture?
Thanks
Shirley.
