US Guidance 76937 for multiple accesses

Date: Jan 5, 2018

Question:

Can you report code 76937 multiple times for the same access site? For example, our EP physician puts two sheaths in the right femoral vein and uses ultrasound guidance for each access. Do we submit code 76937 once or twice? There are also situations where ultrasound is used to place an access in the right femoral artery and again for the right femoral vein. Would we bill 76937 once or twice for that?
