A patient needs a duplex scan of extracranial arteries. The vascular surgeon orders a complete bilateral study instead of a unilateral or limited study. What is the correct CPT code for this procedure?
  1. 93880
  2. 93882
  3. 93886
  4. 93888
Explanation
Answer: A - 93880 is the correct code for a complete bilateral duplex scan of the extracranial arteries.
Code 93882 is incorrect because this code is for a unilateral or limited study. Codes 93886 and 93888 refer to transcranial Doppler studies.
