I was thinking CPT code 76775 and 93979 because CPT book says evaluation fo vascular structrues using both color and spectral doppler is separately reportable. I am not 100% sure. Please help me.
 
yes it is, and you have to append the modifier 59 -93979, in order to get your
reimbursement
Please see firt your Dx to justify correctly your coding.
