مستخلص: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has increasingly been used by neonatal providers in neonatal intensive care units in the United States. However, there is a lack of literature addressing the complexities of POCUS coding and billing practices in the United States. This article describes the coding terminology and billing process especially those relevant to neonatal POCUS. We elucidate considerations for neonatal POCUS billing framework and workflow integration. Directions on image storage and supporting documentation to facilitate efficient reimbursement, compliance with billing regulations, and appeal to insurance claim denial are discussed. KEY POINTS: · Code neonatal POCUS procedure precisely allows accurate reimbursement and reduced errors in billing.. · Document details to support medical necessity and reimbursement claims effectively.. · Adhere to regulations to avoid audits, denials, and ensure proper reimbursement..
