Wiki Ultrasounds

[LKaf7]

Hello,

Our Midwifery department just received an ultrasound machine and will start doing ultrasounds. Does anyone do this? Just looking for some general information. I am not sure if the midwives will be performing the ultrasounds themselves or if a tech will be hired to do so. If a tech does it, how does the billing and coding work?

Thanks!
Leah

I am a midwife coder. Our midwives have their u/s machine and do bedside u/s. they perform and read and bill out appropriate. If a tech was performing and midwives read then you would have a TC charge. I hope that made sense
