Wiki Ultrasound 97035 question

[TWILL11]

I am trying to verify if I can bill 97035 x1 unit if our MD provided ultrasound for 4 minutes on one muscle and 4 minutes on another muscle during the same encounter. No other modality was performed during this session. Please help! Thanks

Yeah, you should be fine, the code description says "one or more areas" so you're covered for the two different muscles regardless of whether or not in different body areas, and you have a total of 8 minutes which is just enough for one unit of timed PT. Looks good to me!
