US Embryo Transfer in Surgery Center
Can we use code 76998 for the ultrasound guidance as this patient is being seen in the Surgery Center? Currently we are coding 76705 and have been for years but recently we have been audited by an outside company who is stating that we should be using code 76998. I would just like a detailed description on whether or not this code is valid. As we think it could be more appropriate for this type of service.
