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

What 93971 covers

Extremity venous duplex combines grayscale imaging and Doppler flow assessment with vein compression and other maneuvers to assess venous patency and flow. A painful, swollen leg or arm with suspected deep vein thrombosis is a common reason for the examination; assessment of known thrombosis or venous reflux may also prompt it. Vascular sonographers obtain images in office vascular labs, emergency departments, and hospital imaging departments. A radiologist, vascular surgeon, or other qualified physician interprets the findings.

Report 93971 for a unilateral extremity venous duplex or a limited study, including a focused bilateral examination; a complete bilateral arm or leg venous examination is 93970. Record which limb and veins were examined, compression and Doppler findings, and any technical limits that prevented full evaluation. When components are billed separately, use modifier 26 for physician interpretation and modifier TC for equipment and staff; bill the global service without a component modifier when both are furnished and billed together. For multiple eligible cardiovascular diagnostic tests performed for the same patient on the same date, Medicare's multiple procedure reduction affects the technical component.
