Happy Monday,
If a thoracentesis is performed on the right and left lung along with ultrasonic guidance is it appropriate to bill for two guidances (CPT 76942)?
Also what if a throacentesis and a paracentesis is done on the same day along with ultrasound guidance (CPT 76942), are two ultrasounds allowed? I am also looking for any rules or guidelines on this issue as well.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
