Patient has a carotid bruit. When you use the crosswalk for the I9 code of 785.9 it gives you DX code of R09.89. However when billing that to certain carriers they say it doesn't met LCD standards. After research and using my reference guides they lead me to code R01.1. This states a cardiac bruit or murmur. Hoping someone can shed some light on this situation. Much appreciated.
