How would I code an ultrasound to check for follicle release for a patient with infertility?

Checking for Follicles with E/M

When a patient is being monitored for follicles during an IVF cycle, they may need to come in every day for a few days. I have a doc who bills a 99213 each and every time. She wants to put a time statement in to show her counseling, but wouldn't changing meds, or telling her to come back in a few days be included in the 76857?
