Vascular testing
About 93922: Limited extremity arterial physiologic study
Reports a limited physiologic assessment of upper or lower extremity arterial circulation, covering one or two levels or a single level with provocative maneuvers.
This noninvasive physiologic test evaluates arterial blood flow in an upper or lower extremity using pressure measurements and Doppler or plethysmographic waveforms. A common lower-extremity application is resting ankle-brachial index testing. Vascular laboratory staff or other trained personnel typically obtain the measurements in an outpatient office or hospital department; a qualified physician interprets the findings. The service is limited to one or two testing levels, or a single level assessed with a provocative maneuver.
Report the code for the documented limited study, not a more extensive multilevel examination or an exercise study. The record should identify the extremity tested, the measurement levels or maneuver, and the results and interpretation. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. It has separately priced professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and no component modifier represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to this code’s technical component.
CMS billing rules for 93922
- Professional and technical components
- Diagnostic test with a professional component (modifier 26, interpretation) and a technical component (modifier TC, equipment and staff); billing without a modifier is the global service.
- Multiple procedures
- Cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
- Bilateral procedures
- The code is already priced as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

93922 billing questions
How does this differ from 93923?
Use 93922 for a limited study covering one or two levels, or a single level with a provocative maneuver. Code 93923 describes a more extensive physiologic study.
Does this code include both sides?
Yes. The code is priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?
Yes. Modifier 26 reports the interpretation and modifier TC reports the technical portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.
What documentation supports the limited study?
Document the extremity, the testing levels or single-level provocative maneuver, the measurements or waveforms, and the interpreting clinician’s findings.
Does a multiple-procedure reduction affect both components?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component of 93922.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
