2 separate reports Ultrasound Abdomen
Date: Feb 8, 2023
Question:
When the Radiologist places 2 separate orders, 1 for 76700 abdomen complete. Another for 76705 abdomen limited, and done 2 hours apart. Same ICD-10.
Can these two be reported together based on separate orders, or is CPT 76705 consider inclusive to 76700. And not allowed in this context.
