Can rehabilitation physicians bill for an ultrasound when using it to guide botox injections for spasticity?

Context

I am hoping for some clarification around using the item number 55848 for ultrasound. Rehabilitation medicine physicians require ultrasound guidance for botulinum toxin injections. Assuming the ultrasound machine is appropriately accredited, are we allowed to bill this code for the use of the ultrasound machine in addition to the item numbers for the injections (18360)?
