摘要：
This article addresses coding and liability related to obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound examinations. The coding section includes an overview of general concepts, highlighting the differences between coding in hospital owned facilities and provider-owned clinics. It also addresses the importance of correct International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition, coding, emphasizing the use of the most specific applicable codes. This section discusses proper coding and applicable parameters for early pregnancy and gynecologic ultrasound examination. The liability section addresses common errors leading to litigation in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound practice. Examples are given demonstrating how such errors lead to liability actions.
