AB  - Emergency  physicians  who  utilize  point-of-care  ultrasound  (POCUS)  should  have  an  understanding  of  the  processes  for  billing  and  reimbursement  for  this  service.  As  the  American  Medical  Association  (AMA)  supports  the  use  of  ultrasound,1  it  also  supports  reimbursement  for  ultrasound  imaging  performed  by  appropriately  trained  physicians.2  Similarly,  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services  (CMS)  supports  billing  for  POCUS  examinations  by  any  physician.3  According  to  the  Medicare  Claims  Processing  Manual,  Medicare  Administrative  Contractors  (MAC)  must  pay  for  the  professional  component  of  radiology  services  furnished  by  a  physician  to  an  individual  patient  in  all  settings  under  the  fee  schedule  for  physician  services  regardless  of  the  specialty  of  the  physician  who  performs  the  service.4
