Re: experience with reimbursement for 3D ultrasound?

OBGYN.net image to be published in JUM" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Soft Markers" Hi! Color flow mapping is 93325. Paid at about $4 when we get paid. Offline 3-D code I know about was developed for 3-D post-processed analysis of MRI & CTS. We have only used a few times. I only have one case of DS not diagnosed by 2-D but done by 3-D on facial morphology - which was quiet clear. What CPT are you talking about? JimS -- James S.

We have been billing the code for almost 3 years for Abd, OB/GYN, and small parts with success however Aetna and Cigna insurance companies are not paying for the code. Aetna states that as of 4/1/06 they will discontinue the new codes as they are incidental to the scan. Cigna states that the 3D is still investigational. At the present one of our insurance companies is now requesting repayment of the code for the past 2 years even though it was done in conjunction with our regular code and not billed routinely for OB/GYN, Abdominal, or small parts. We only bill when the images we obtain give us diagnostic value and we are fighting this request. If you have any insight I would appreciate a response. Do you have any specific questions? Also do you have any experience with color flow billing?

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.
