Question:
A patient had two different ultrasound exams (76536) completed on the same visit. One was for thyroid nodules and the other was for a lump on the patient’s jaw. Can we bill for both of these exams separately, or should we only bill as one charge?
Answer:
Answer:
You would report the following code only once. It includes all ultrasound imaging of the soft tissues of the head and neck.
| 76536 | Ultrasound, soft tissues of head and neck (e.g., thyroid, parathyroid, parotid), real time with image documentation |
