The Technique read as " Real time ultrasound imaging of the bilateral upper extremities was performed. Diameters of arteries and veins were measured at multiple levels for evaluation of dialysis Graft."
I suggest the following codes:
93970-Duplex scan of extremity veins-Bilateral
93930-Duplex scan of upper extremity arteries-Bilateral
My fellow coders suggest 93990-Duplex scan of hemodialysis access including arterial inflow and venous outflow
93990 is appropriate when there is Hemodialysis Graft.
which is the correct way of reporting when a duplex scan is done for dialysis graft planning.( Dulplex of arteries and Veins)
Your Inputs please!
