93922 or 93923 Counting levels evaluated
Date: Sep 29, 2021
Question:
When determining the number of levels evaluated for the assignment of 93922 or 93923, CPT instructions state, "Potential levels include high thigh, low thigh, calf, ankle, metatarsal and toes." Do you count metatarsal AND toes as one level or two? For example if the documentation states, "Segmental waveform analysis at the bilateral ankles, metatarsals, and toes show no definitive abnormalities", would that be 93922 or 93923? If the metatarsals and toes can be evaluated separately, can you explain how this is done?
