Wiki CPT for U/S and Venogram

[dvance4210]

I thought maybe someone in this forum could possibly help me with two codes that I need for pre-cert purposes. I normally deal with cardiothoracic soooooo, needless to say, I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I need the CPT for a left subclavian venogram and upper extremity venous duplex. I was leaning towards 75820 and 93931.

Any thoughts would be apprecitated!

I'm good with your venogram code as long as it is not for a pacemaker placement. That is bundled into the pacemaker code. For the duplex, I would use either 93970 for vein mapping, or 93971. Your code was for arterial duplex (93931).
