CPT Knowledgebase - Jul 27, 2006

The obstetrician in our office performs fetal nonstress tests. Would it be appropriate to report CPT code 59025, Fetal non-stress test, for this procedure or code 76818, Fetal biophysical profile; with non-stress testing? In performing this procedure, the obstetrician evaluates acceleration of the fetal heart rate with fetal movement, in addition to fetal diaphragmatic breathing movements, fetal body movements, fetal tone, and quantification of amniotic fluid volume.
