Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Code 76805 is appropriate for a routine transabdominal ultrasound of an obstetrical patient who is more than 14 weeks and less than 22 weeks pregnant. This is the case for Mary Lou during her 18th week of pregnancy. Code 76801 is used for a complete ultrasound exam of a pregnant uterus, or for a limited exam if a complete exam was performed first. Code 76802 is used for a follow-up or repeat exam. Code 76810 is used for a transvaginal ultrasound.
