Hello! I am in the process of getting approval for the purchase of a new ultrasound machine for our pediatric GI clinic. I have information about coverage for ultrasound in the adult IBD clinic at our institution, but I don’t know what the typical insurance coverage is like in pediatric patients for performing ultrasound in clinic. Can anyone speak to this? Does insurance typically approve this? Or has anyone run into trouble with specific insurances? We have a heavy Medicaid population and so we are working on determining coverage for ultrasound in these patients. I know Medicaid varies state by state, but would love input from other providers.
Thanks
