93970/93971

Date: Nov 6, 2023

Question:

A provider would like to do two LEV on separate days. One to test for reflux, and the 2nd day US to check for DVT. Since the 93970 description is inclusive of all of those elements, would both DOS be billed as limited (93971) or only one DOS to be billed at 93970?
