Noninvasive Vascular ultrasound with Lumason

Date: Dec 13, 2018

Question:

There are no CPT codes that describe non-invasive vascular procedures with contrast. The Noninvasive Vascular Lab wants to do vascular imaging with contrast enhancement (Lumason) to evaluate for: abdominal aortic stent graft leakage, renal artery/stent stenosis or occlusion, portal hypertension and portal thrombosis, etc. Should we report:

  • Vascular duplex scan codes 93975-93981 with Q9950?
  • Abdominal US limited code 76705 with Q9950?
  • Unlisted code 76999 with Q9950?
