What 93325 covers

Color flow Doppler overlays blood flow direction and velocity onto two-dimensional echo images, helping identify valvular regurgitation, stenotic jets, intracardiac shunts, and prosthetic valve flow. Sonographers acquire images in cardiology offices and hospitals; cardiologists interpret them, while fetal studies may involve pediatric cardiologists or maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Mapping accompanies a qualifying transthoracic, transesophageal, stress, or fetal echocardiogram whose primary code excludes color flow.

Report this add-on with a qualifying primary echo; it is paid within that procedure’s global period. Examples include limited TTE (93308), complete TTE with color Doppler alone (93307), congenital TTE (93303 or 93304), TEE (93312 or 93315), stress echo (93350 or 93351), and fetal echo (76825 or 76826). When both spectral and color Doppler accompany a complete standard TTE, report 93306 instead of separate Doppler add-ons. Document the primary study and color flow findings, such as a regurgitant jet or shunt direction. Report one unit for the color mapping, not one per valve or jet. Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.

93325 billing questions

Can 93325 be reported with a complete transthoracic echo, 93306?

No. 93306 already includes spectral and color flow Doppler, so adding 93325 would duplicate the color flow service.

Can 93325 be added to 93307 when color Doppler is performed?

Yes, when color flow mapping accompanies the complete TTE without spectral Doppler. When the complete TTE includes both spectral and color Doppler, report 93306 instead.

How many units of 93325 are reported per study?

Report one unit for color flow mapping with a qualifying echocardiogram, regardless of how many valves or shunts are assessed.

Which modifier applies when the physician only reads the study in a hospital?

Append modifier 26 to 93325 for the physician’s interpretation. Bill the primary echo code according to the component the physician furnished; modifier TC identifies the technical portion of 93325.

Is 93325 reported with spectral Doppler codes 93320 or 93321?

Yes, when both spectral and color Doppler are performed with a qualifying primary echo. Report the applicable spectral Doppler add-on and 93325 separately.

Is color flow Doppler separately reportable with TEE guidance for structural heart interventions, 93355?

No. 93355 includes color flow Doppler when performed as part of the TEE guidance.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
