Cervical length coding

Just a quick question regarding coding. For patients at risk for preterm labor that you follow transvaginal cervical lengths, is there a CPT code that is appropriate to use? 76817 seems to be the closest because all the rest specifically list evaluation of the fetus.

Thanks,

Glen

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
