Central Line WITH US GUIDANCE
My doctors place central lines and wish to use ultrasound guidance for placement. Can I bill for the central line along with the ultrasound? They would be using the ultrasound themselves, no tech or radiologist involved.

re: Central Line WITH US GUIDANCE
if you use ultrasound guidance, use CPT® 76937 in addition to the primary procedure code. Guidance must be medically necessary and all documentation requirements of the code are met.
