To report, see noninvasive vascular diagnostic studies (93875-93990). A “limited’’ exam of an anatomic region should not be reported for the same exam session as a “complete’’ exam of that same region.Įvaluation of vascular structures using both color and spectral Doppler is separately reportable. If less than the required elements for a “complete’’ exam are reported (eg, limited number of organs or limited portion of region evaluated), the “limited’’ code for that anatomic region should be used once per patient exam session. The report should contain a description of these elements or the reason that an element could not be visualized (eg, obscured by bowel gas, surgically absent). The prescription form for the intraocular lens satisfies the written report requirement for 76519.įor those anatomic regions that have “complete’’ and “limited’’ ultrasound codes, note the elements that comprise a ’’complete’’ exam. A final, written report should be issued for inclusion in the patient’s medical record.
For those codes whose sole diagnostic goal is a biometric measure (ie, 76514, 76516, and 76519), permanently recorded images are not required.
