Hi everyone,

Recently I have been getting denials for cpt code 93971 under sclerotherapy saying that information provided does not support the description/cpt code 93971. Initially the sclero claim gets denied for medical records then they pay 36471 and 93970 but they deny 93971. What should be done in this case and what documents do i need to submit to get the 93971 paid?
 
Ultrasound is bundled into sclerotherapy injections. 93970 and 93971 are mapping procedures and not billable during interventional procedures.
HTH,
Jim
