by Miss Jadyn Gorczany PhD 10 min read

ICD-9 code, please check whether V code V67.59, V67.6 or V67.9 could fit in.More appropriately one from V28.3 encounter for routine fetal US NOS. It is Physicians discretion to say how many routine US BPP screening needed for a fetus at that time of pregnancy with the need for BPP. BPP can be repeated as many times as the condition warrants.

ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 656.81 : Other specified fetal and placental problems, affecting management of mother, delivered, with or without mention of antepartum condition.

What is the CPT code for biophysical profile?

A: Assign code O28.8, Other abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother. A biophysical profile (BPP) test combines ultrasound and fetal nonstress test and is usually performed when there is an increased risk of pregnancy loss due to conditions, such as multiparity, diabetes, postterm pregnancy, or decreased fetal movements.

What is your biophysical profile score for fetal heart rate?

Biophysical profile score is 8 out of 8. 2. Fetal heart rate recorded at 110 bpm at both beginning and end of the exam for this 30-week gestation period. Clinical correlation is suggested. I coded Z03.79 and Z3A.30, but am being told I should include an additional code for the fetal heart rate issue "because he documented it".

What is the CPT code for fetal biophysical profile?

76819The radiologist believes that CPT code 59025, Fetal non-stress test, should be reported for the non-stress test, and CPT code 76819, Fetal biophysical profile; without non-stress testing, should be reported for the fetal biophysical profile, with modifier 59, Distinct Procedural Service, appended to 76819.

Can 76818 and 76819 be billed together?

CPT code 76816 will be reimbursed when reported with modifier 59 for each additional fetus. CPT codes 76818 and 76819: Profile assessments will be reimbursed for the second and any additional fetuses and should be reported separately by code 76818 or 76819 with the modifier 59 appended.

What is biophysical profile of fetus?

The fetal biophysical profile (BPP) is a noninvasive, easily learned and performed antepartum test for evaluating fetal well-being. Ultrasound is used to assess four discrete biophysical parameters: fetal movement, fetal tone, fetal breathing, and amniotic fluid volume.

Can 76805 and 76815 be billed together?

FirstCare considers CPT® 76815 a limited or “quick look” study (i.e. “fetal heartbeat”, placental location or fluid check). Reimburse once, regardless of the number of fetuses, and only once per date of service. CPT® 76815 should never be reported with complete studies CPT® 76801/ CPT® 76802 and CPT® 76805/ CPT® 76810.

Can 76816 and 76815 be billed together?

What is the difference between 76805 and 76811?

Q Are CPT 76805 and 76811 different? Both are for fetal and maternal ultrasound evaluation, yet 76811 includes a detailed fetal anatomic exam.

What is the difference between 76815 and 76816?

If you are only checking the fluid volume, you would bill 76815. If you are also evaluating some of the fetal anatomy, you would bill 76816.

What is the CPT code for fetal monitoring?

Per the ACOG Coding Committee, the following is a brief description of CPT code 59025, Fetal NST: "The patient reports fetal movement as an external monitor records fetal heart rate changes. The procedure is noninvasive and typically takes 20 to 40 minutes to perform.

How do you write a biophysical profile?

The biophysical profile is a completely noninvasive procedure. The nonstress test involves having two belts wrapped around your abdomen. The ultrasound involves having ultrasound gel applied to your belly, and then an ultrasound wand moved and pressed around on your belly in order to see into your uterus.

What is NST AFI and BPP?

The elements are a non-stress test, assessment of fluid index, fetal breathing movements, total body movements, and limb tone demonstrated by flexion and extension of the limbs. The modified BPP is a shortened study that involves a non-stress test (NST) and amniotic fluid index (AFI).

What are the 5 parameters of biophysical profile?

The five components of the biophysical profile are as follows: (1) nonstress test; (2) fetal breathing movements (one or more episodes of rhythmic fetal breathing movements of 30 seconds or more within 30 minutes); (3) fetal movement (three or more discrete body or limb movements within 30 minutes); (4) fetal tone (one ...
