What 93882 covers

This ultrasound examines blood flow in extracranial arteries, most often the carotid arteries, using imaging and Doppler techniques. A vascular sonographer or other trained imaging staff member performs the acquisition; a physician or other qualified practitioner interprets the findings. It may be performed in a vascular laboratory, imaging department, or office for evaluation of a carotid bruit, cerebrovascular symptoms, or known carotid disease when the examination is unilateral or otherwise limited.

Select this code from the extent of the study actually performed, not from the severity of a suspected stenosis. The report should identify the side and vessels examined, the reason for any limited scope, the findings, and the interpreting practitioner’s conclusion. The service may be billed globally, or the interpretation may be reported with modifier 26 and the equipment-and-staff portion with modifier TC. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the CMS multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

93882 billing questions

When should 93882 be used instead of 93880?

Use 93882 for a unilateral or limited extracranial arterial examination. Use 93880 when the documented service is a complete bilateral extracranial study.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the equipment-and-staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Does the multiple-procedure reduction affect both portions?

CMS applies the cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction to the technical component when multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed.

What documentation supports reporting a limited study?

Document the clinical reason, the side and vessels examined, the scope of the examination, the findings, and the interpretation. The record should make clear why the service was unilateral or limited.

Can a complete bilateral study be reported as 93882?

No. A complete bilateral extracranial arterial examination is represented by 93880; 93882 describes a unilateral or limited examination.

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.
