A young woman with right lower abdominal pain and history of ovarian cysts is ordered to have a transvaginal ultrasound to rule out ovarian cyst as the cause of her pain. What is the correct CPT code for this diagnostic ultrasound?
  1. 76801
  2. 76830
  3. 76856
  4. 76857
Explanation
Answer: B - 76830 is the correct code for nonobstetrical transvaginal ultrasound.
Code 76801 is incorrect because this code is for an obstetrical ultrasound. Codes 76856 and 76857 are incorrect because these codes are not for a transvaginal ultrasound; they are for a pelvic ultrasound.
