76700 is an inherent part of 93975-Duplex scan of arterial inflow and venous outflow of abdominal, pelvic, scrotal contents and/or retroperitoneal organs; complete study. Why are you billing the additional code of 76700? Do you have a redacted copy of the medical record that shows that 2 separate studies were done?
