NF and NT are different things in the sense they are measured differently. There is no way to bill an NT in the 2nd trimester. There is no way to bill a NF by itself. If the patient had an indication for a 76811, you could do a 76811 since the NF is a component of that exam though.

Subject: Coding/billing for Nuchal Fold in the 2nd trimester
Good morning,
I have seen an increase in the NT's/NF's being performed in the 2nd trimester. With the 76813 being a 1st trimester code, I am looking for any suggestions/updated guidance for coding/billing in the 2nd trimester..
Thank you in advance!
