We have always only billed 93312-26 but we have a new girl in the office who billed 93312-26, 93320-26 and 93325-26 at her previous employment. Should we have been billing the 2 add on codes or are they bundled with the 93312?
 
As long as Spectral Doppler (93320) and Color Flow (93325) are documented, then you should be billing those add-ons.
Same goes for the limited TTE (93308) and stress echo (93350).
 
Does mention of PISA and valve regurgitation count as documentation for 93320 and 93325 or does it actually have to say "Transesophageal with color and doppler?" I am unable to find a good resource. Thanks
 
We should be querying the provider to see if he did a Color flow mapping and a spectral doppler. And if done, should be documented under Technique of the report so that these add-ons are not missed.
I have seen providers documenting when they do a Color flow mapping and a spectral doppler.
