doppler testing - cpt 93922

[codelady]

Can anyone help with this code? The doctor is performing this test, which is recommended by the diabetes assoc and medicare is denying the claim. Does anyone else bill this code? How is it billed?

Thanks

Code 93922

This is a covered Medicare code. What diagnosis are you using?

 

[codelady]

The pt is diagnosed with 443.9 peripheral vascular disease

When our Podiatrist's are using the doppler we bill 93922 and diagnosis code(s) 440.21 or 440.22

How often can you bill for this code? Once a year, every six months, etc?
