Hello,
I realize this my not be specific to interventional radiology but thought there may be some cross over knowledge in this forum. I am curious is anyone can provide information regarding CPT 93965. I have been contacted by our vascular lab for help regarding this code as it is being deleted for 2017 and there is not replacement code listed. I noticed the American College of radiology (ACR) has posted a proposal to have this code removed because it is no longer used.? My vascular lab states the use if at least once a day. I do not code for this area and am not well versed in their procedure codes but stated I would try an help. My concern is that perhaps they have been using the wrong CPT code for the procedures they are performing or this may be an error. Does anyone have any information or suggestions where I can get more information. My understanding this is a non-imaging procedure
93965 Non-invasive physiologic studies of extremity veins, complete bilateral study (eg, Doppler waveform analysis with responses to compression and other maneuvers, phleborheography, impedance plethysmography)
