Wiki 93970

[cknorr]

I'm fairly new to coding so forgive me if this is an obvious question;
Can we bill for 93970 twice same day of service? Complete Bilateral Duplex scans done for both upper extremities and both lower extremities.
Do we use modifier 51?
Thank you,

If it was performed twice on the same day, I'd bill the second line with either a 76 (same provider) or 77 (different providers) modifier. If the additional one denies, you may need to appeal with records to show that it was necessary to do both.
