Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Coding for Elastography

USE does not include the work of a diagnostic ultrasound imaging procedure, and if a diagnostic ultrasound imaging procedure is ordered, medically necessary, and performed on the same or another organ during the same session of ultrasound elastography, it may be separately reported.
