Eye Ultrasound, B-Scan

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 76512

This ultrasound exam uses sound waves to create a two-dimensional image of the inside of the eye, useful when the doctor's direct view is blocked, such as by a dense cataract or bleeding inside the eye. It can help detect problems like retinal detachment, tumors, or other structural changes that can't be directly examined otherwise. A probe is gently placed against the closed eyelid or the numbed surface of the eye to capture the images.
