I am trying to obtain clarification on the correct coding for an initial OB ultrasound to confirm size/dates/gestation.
I have been using the code v28.3 (encounter for routine fetal US).
I have been told that the correct code should be 649.63 (size/dates discrepancy).
I don't feel like this is right unless the patient is unsure of their LMP and there really is a date discrepancy.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
