Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93880 covers

Complete extracranial duplex uses grayscale imaging, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler to assess the carotid and vertebral arteries on both sides of the neck. A vascular sonographer obtains images and flow velocities in a vascular lab, outpatient imaging center, or office; a radiologist, vascular surgeon, cardiologist, or other qualified physician interprets the examination. The study can evaluate a transient ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax, a carotid bruit, known stenosis, or a treated carotid artery.

Report 93880 for a complete bilateral examination; report 93882 for a unilateral or limited extracranial examination. The report should support the extent examined with bilateral vessel findings, velocity measurements, vertebral flow direction, and plaque or stenosis findings when present. Modifier 26 identifies interpretation alone, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and an unmodified claim represents the global service. Because 93880 is priced bilaterally, modifier 50 does not increase payment. When eligible cardiovascular diagnostic studies are performed for the same patient on the same day, the multiple-procedure reduction affects the technical component of the lower-priced service, not its interpretation.
