I have a question regarding the NCCI edit in version 15.0 that now bundles these codes: 93325 (color flow doppler) with 93320 (Doppler).
In 2009, doppler codes 93325 and 93320 are understandably bundled into the new codes 93306/7 and cannot be billed separately with these services.
However, this new CCI edit that bundles 93325 with 93320 does not appear to be appropriate. How are others handling this when billed with echos such as 93350, 93312, and 93303? Do you recommend adding modifier -59 to 93325?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you!
