Coding for Clinicians 14: Coding for POCUS

Financial reimbursement recognizes the value of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) services in clinical care. Capturing revenue for these services also helps to maintain equipment and systems, justify time spent to acquire skills, make time to perform POCUS, and prove value to administrative teams. Despite these benefits, many clinicians who perform POCUS are not properly compensated for their time and effort. Barriers include lack of necessary coding knowledge, lack of systems to support billing, and lack of guidelines clearly identifying when to code for POCUS. Below are frequently asked questions about billing for POCUS that you will learn more about in this activity.
