Patient is status post hysterectomy and is having a transvaginal US for pelvic pain. Since there is no uterus would you add a 52 modifier to 76830, the physician did state in the findings that she was s/p hysterectomy, so there was a reason the uterus was not seen or evaluated. According to ACR 2022 US Coding User's Guide if evaluation of the uterus is not documeneted, modifier 52 should be applied.
