76937 Ultrasound Guidance

Date: Mar 14, 2014

Question:

We have a vascular surgeon who wants to start performing and billing ultrasound guidance (76937) for every patient. He said it is a clinical decision he made based on quality data from the VSGNE. My question is, can he routinely do this, or does it need to be based on the patient's condition? If he can, is there any special documentation that needs to be done?
