Follow-Up Pregnancy Ultrasound, Per Fetus

This is a follow-up ultrasound of a pregnancy done after a previous, more complete scan, used to re-check things like fetal growth measurements, amniotic fluid level, or an organ or finding that looked abnormal earlier in the pregnancy. It's performed through the abdomen, not vaginally, and is billed once for each fetus being followed. It is not the first, comprehensive anatomy ultrasound of the pregnancy, but a shorter, targeted recheck done later.
