We perform LEAs in our office daily. We will do this studies after a pt has intervention and sometime the LEA is only performed on 1 leg. After reviewing the CPT codes once again I feel like I need clarification.
93922- Limited bilateral noninvasive physiologic studies of upper or lower extremity arteries (for lower extremity: ankle/brachial indices at distal posterior tibial and anterior tibial/dorsalis pedis arteries plus bidirectional, doppler waverform recording and analysis at 1-2 levels
93923- Complete bilateral noninvasive physiologic studies of upper or lower extremity arteries. 3 or more levels (for lower extremity: ankle/brachial indices at distal posterior tibial and anterior tibial/dorsalis pedis arteries plus bidirectional, doppler waverform recording and analysis at 3 levels or more
We are doing the description of 93923, but only on one leg. Do we bill 93922 or 93923? The Bilateral is what is throwing us off.
