The CPT® codes 93970 [Duplex scan of extremity veins including responses to compression and other maneuvers; complete bilateral study] and 93971 [... unilateral or limited study] may be used for subsequent access mapping." You'll find the NGS LCD online by entering the LCD number (L27355) in the Quick Search box at www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/ and selecting "Search by ID." When prompted, type the date of service and click "Search" to get the results. LCDs may vary by payer, so be sure you understand the rules for the particular payer you're reporting to.
