Just looking for a little extra help here...
We are trying to determine what exactly to look for in a report to qualify for the use of the cpt 93965?
Report reads:
Routine grayscale and color doppler ultrasound of the bilateral lower extremity veins performed.
Findings: the demonstrated veins for the bilateral lower extremity lincluding the common femoral vein, femoral vein, and popliteal vein demonstrate normal compressibliity, augmentation, and flow.
Normal respiratory variation was identified.
No evidence for echogenic intraluminal thrombus formation.
So based on these findings would it still go to 93970 rather than 93965? What really does classify as a 93965 .... based on cpt's description.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
