Billing Fetal Dopplars for twins

I have a provider that did a fetal doppler on a pregnant woman with twins. He is billing 2 separate charges; 1 for each twin. Does anyone know if this is allowed and if he can bill twice or should only bill once? Use of a modifier if he can bill both? I’d appreciate any help with this and resources that I can refer to. Thanks so much!

Drainage of Infected Urethral Diverticulum – 6 mos pregnant w/ twins

Does anyone know what cpt code to use for drainage of infected urethral diverticulm? I was leaning towards 10160 but not sure if accurate.

From PT’s chart –
"URETHRA: 5cm x 2cm large urethral diverticulum present. When mass was palpated, about 20ml of purulent fluid
was expressed through urethra. After obtaining permission from patient, local anesthetic was applied to the
anterior vagina and additional 5ml of purulent fluid was obtained percutaneously via needle decompression.
Resultant diverticular sac felt to be originating from midurethra with potential loculations still present
but not able to be successfully drained at present time. Bleeding noted from anterior vaginal wall puncture
sites which resolved with holding pressure."

"Today, we decompressed majority of diverticulum transurethrally and percutaneously. A straight catheterized urine culture was sent and needle aspirated fluid also sent for culture."

Thanks in advance for any help someone may offer! This is not a procedure I’ve ever coded for before!

Coding ICD-10 009.89 and 030.03 for mono-di twins

If the provider documents that the patient is at high risk due to mono-di twins, do you need to code both ICD-10 009.89 supervision of other high risk pregnancy and 030.03, twin pregnancy, mono/di? Doesn’t the mono-di, make the pregnancy high risk and no need to include other high risk?
