What 93308 covers

This service is a focused ultrasound examination of the heart through the chest, using two-dimensional imaging and M-mode when performed. A sonographer typically acquires the images in an office, hospital, or outpatient imaging department, and a qualified physician interprets the study. Common reasons include reassessing a known pericardial effusion or checking ventricular function after a prior study when only a specific question needs evaluation.

Choose this code when the documented examination is limited or performed as follow-up, rather than a complete transthoracic study. The record should support the clinical question, the focused scope of the examination, and the interpretation of the images. Doppler services, when performed and reported, use the applicable Doppler codes. The service may be billed globally, or split into the professional interpretation with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff technical component with modifier TC. CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction to the technical component.
