Basics about CPT ode 76825 & 76826

Obstetric Ultrasound is a highly developed technique used to detect ectopic pregnancy and multiple pregnancies, assessing fetal life and function, diagnosing physical anomalies, and guiding physicians in their efforts to treat the fetus. Although the clinical benefit of routine ultrasonography has not been established, it is commonly performed early in pregnancy for confirmation of dates, fetal viability, and pregnancy location. Later studies at 16-20 weeks are used to assess fetal anatomy and to identify potential fetal abnormalities. In addition, there are a variety of complications that require ultrasound for evaluation. Today, we will checkout about CPT code 76825 & 76826 for Echocardiography of fetal cardiovascular system

When to use CPT code 76825 & 76826

If all of the elements of the initial fetal echocardiogram are documented, it is appropriate to report code 76825. Elements of the initial fetal echocardiogram include: imaging of the fetus to identify fetal orientation and the fetal cephalic/caudal ends, extremities, and spine; determination of fetal sinus (fetal visceral orientation); evaluation of all parts of the heart, including venous connections, chambers, competence and movement of valves, and great arterial connections; and evaluation of cardiac function with M mode (and/or spectral Doppler when indicated).

76825 Echocardiography, fetal, cardiovascular system, real time with image documentation (2D), with or without M-mode recording;
76826  follow-up or repeat study

Report 76827 for a complete fetal echocardiographic evaluation and 76828 for a follow-up or repeat study

Indication for Fetal echocardiography CPT code 76825 & 76826:

• Abnormal obstetrical ultrasound screen
• Extracardiac abnormality
• Chromosomal abnormality
• Arrhythmia
• Hydrops
• Increased first trimester nuchal transluncency
• Multiple gestation and suspicion of twin-twin transfusion syndrome

Which CPT appendix contains a list of codes that are exempt from modifier 51?

CPT® Appendix E lists codes that are exempt from modifier 51.

Which standardized healthcare coding terminology would a patient's lab results be recorded in?

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are numbers assigned to each task and service that you can get from a healthcare provider. For example, a routine check-up or a lab test has a code attached to it. CPT codes are used to track and bill medical, surgical, and diagnostic services.

How are HCPCS G codes different from CPT codes quizlet?

The most common scenario uses the CPT code for the administration of an injection and the HCPCS code to identify the procedure. G codes identify professional health care procedures and services that do not have codes identified in CPT.

When assigning a CPT code which one of the following is the purpose of a modifier?

CPT modifiers (also referred to as Level I modifiers) are used to supplement the information or adjust care descriptions to provide extra details concerning a procedure or service provided by a physician. Code modifiers help further describe a procedure code without changing its definition.
