This article provides billing/coding guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34417 for CT of the head; consult LCD L34417 for specific coverage, coding, and documentation requirements.
When a limited or follow-up echocardiogram is performed, document the targeted cardiac problem/region and bill using the appropriate CPT code (93308 or 93321).
If the study is a screening exam, document and bill with the appropriate screening ICD-10 code; document any abnormal findings and use the resulting diagnosis for subsequent billing when applicable.
Document use of ultrasound contrast enhancement and its supplies separately when billed, and do not submit separate claims for diagnostic injection services integral to the contrast procedure.

Follow-up or limited transthoracic echocardiography performed to evaluate a single specified cardiac problem or region must be billed with CPT 93308.
Limited Doppler/follow-up echocardiographic studies (for targeted velocity or gradient assessment) should be billed with CPT 93321 (e.g., tricuspid regurgitant velocity to estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure or sequential transmitral velocity in mitral stenosis).
Allergy testing is covered when the patient has clinically significant allergic symptoms and conservative therapy has failed.
Allergy testing includes performance, evaluation, and reading of cutaneous and mucous membrane tests together with physician history (including immunologic history), physical examination, antigen selection, and interpretation of results.
Standard skin testing is the preferred method when allergy testing is necessary.
When a percutaneous or intracutaneous single test (CPT 95004 or 95024) and sequential/incremental tests (CPT 95017, 95018, 95027) are performed the same day, both code types may be reported only if they are for different allergens or for different dilutions of the same allergen.
