Ultrasound guidance for marking the skin for subsequent needle placement

Date: Sep 23, 2011

Question:

I don't know if you can help on this or not. But some of our doctors want to charge 76942 for skin markings as opposed to using wire placement or needle localization. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for whatever help you can give. Suzan
