PY - 2021 T2 - Ma and Mateer's Emergency Ultrasound, 4e 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 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/12 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1175891164 ER -
