Can you clarify what CPT means by “once per exam, not per element”? This note comes after the limited ultrasound code.
A
The code for a limited ultrasound, 76815, is meant to describe a “quick” focused look at 1 or more of the examples listed in parentheses (fetal heart beat, placental location, fetal position, qualitative amniotic fluid volume, etc) in the nomenclature for this ultrasound code.
