Ask Dr. Z

I am confirming what I think I know to be true, but making sure I did not misunderstand anything. When billing 76937-26 for ultrasound access, the provider needs to document vessel patency, real-time visualization of needle access, where the images are stored (meaning the images must be stored), and findings of the service. Can this be documented in the procedure note for the services vessel access is being done for? There is a question in my organization as to whether the images do have to be stored.
