Hello,
I have found this on MedLearn's website and I wanted to get some opinions. We code allot of US/Doppler reports. As long as the documentation in the report supported the Doppler (velocity flow etc...) we would code the Doppler along with the US and appropriate modifier. This statement by MedLearn tells me if they do not state they used Color and Spectral Doppler, we can't code the Doppler. Please see link below and go to question/answer for date May 5, 2008 and let me know what you think.
Thanks, Connie
