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

What 93886 covers

A complete transcranial Doppler study evaluates blood-flow signals in intracranial arteries using ultrasound. A vascular laboratory sonographer commonly performs the acquisition, with a qualified physician interpreting the findings. Clinical uses include monitoring for cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage and evaluating intracranial blood flow in patients with suspected cerebrovascular disease or sickle cell disease.

Report 93886 when the documented examination covers a complete intracranial study; use 93888 when the performed study is limited. The report should identify the clinical indication, vessels or acoustic windows assessed, and interpretation. The code may be billed globally or split into the professional interpretation with modifier 26 and the technical service with modifier TC. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component, so it affects the TC portion when applicable.
