Echocardiography
Date: Nov 11, 2010
Question:
I am new to cardiology coding and need some help with two echocardiography codes. 93303 and 93304 are echocardiography for congenital cardia anomalies, complete and limited respectively. The guidelines in CPT do not identify what needs to be included to be considered complete and when you should use the limited code. Any information you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks!
