Hello,
When billing
93306
Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, complete, with spectral Doppler echocardiography, and with color flow Doppler echocardiography
in the POS 21 or 22 and the physician is only providing the interp I know that a 26 modifier is appropriate, HOWEVER I want to double check to make sure I also don't need to utilize any additional add on CPT codes. I am of the mindset no, because the other services such as the recording the color flow Doppler, etc are already built into the body of the code. Am I correct?
Thanks.
