Arterial 93925 & ABI 93922. Combination Ultrasound Exam ABI can show whether P.A.D. is affecting your limbs, but it won't show which blood vessels are narrowed and blocked which is why we pair the ABI with an arterial Doppler of the lower extremities.
ICD-10-CM Code for Coronary atherosclerosis due to calcified coronary lesion I25. 84.
A calcium-score screening heart test (coronary calcium scan) uses computerized tomography (CT) to detect calcium deposits in the coronary arteries of your heart. A higher coronary calcium-score suggests you have a higher chance of significant narrowing in the coronary arteries and a higher risk of future heart attack.
CPT® 75571 describes a non-contrast CT of the heart with calcium scoring and should be reported only when calcium scoring is performed as a stand-alone procedure.

93922. Use procedure code 93922 as the default code for ABI studies.
First of all just check the report for Ankle brachial Index (ABI). If it is done then look for the procedure codes description for code 93923 and 93922. Now check the documentation of the report and search for the presence of segmental pressure in the report.
Assessment of the Ankle brachial indices (ABI) only is considered part of the physical examination and is not covered according to Title XVIII of the Social Security Act section 1862 (a) (7) which excludes routine physical examinations and services from Medicare coverage.
Aetna considers calcium scoring (e.g., with ultrafast [electron-beam] CT, spiral [helical] CT, and multi-slice CT) experimental and investigational for all other indications because of insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed published medical literature.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging modality designed to be an alternative to invasive cardiac angiography (cardiac catheterization) for diagnosing CAD by visualizing the blood flow in arterial and venous vessels. The gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis is cardiac catheterization.
Aetna considers a single calcium scoring by means of low-dose multi-slice CT angiography, ultrafast [electron-beam] CT, or spiral [helical] CT medically necessary for screening the following:
Persons in atrial fibrillation (except when rate-controlled and 3rd generation Dual-Source CT (DSCT) 120-kv tube voltage is utilized).or with other significant arrhythmia.
Aetna considers cardiac CT angiography experimental and investigational for persons with any of the following contraindications to the procedure because its effectiveness for indications other than the ones listed above has not been established:
Aetna considers cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography medically necessary for evaluation of aortic erosion in symptomatic members (e.g., chest pain) who have been treated for atrial septal defect with an occlusive device.
Aetna considers calcium scoring of the aortic valve medically necessary in the setting of persons with suspected paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient symptomatic severe aortic stenosis when transthoracic echocardiography is inconclusive.
Abnormally high level of calcium in the blood; manifestations include fatigability, muscle weakness, depression, anorexia, nausea, and constipation. Higher than normal levels of calcium in the blood. Some types of cancer increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E83.52 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Higher than normal levels of calcium in the blood. Some types of cancer increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
For hierarchical condition categories (HCC) used in Medicare Advantage Risk Adjustment plans, certain diagnosis codes are used as to determine severity of illness, risk, and resource utilization. HCC impacts are often overlooked in the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM conversion. The physician should examine the patient each year and compliantly document the status of all chronic and acute conditions. HCC codes are payment multipliers.
Note: There is nothing in the documentation that says that there was an error in the prescription for Coumadin or that the patient took it incorrectly. If the prescription was correctly prescribed and correctly administered/taken then it would be an adverse effect.
A claim submitted without a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code will be returned to the provider as an incomplete claim under Section 1833 (e) of the Social Security Act.

CTA of the coronary veins is indicated when imaging of the coronary venous anatomy is necessary for biventricular pacemaker lead insertion.
Current available body of evidence demonstrates that CCTA can reliably rule out the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with a low to intermediate probability of having CAD and can reliably achieve a high degree of diagnostic accuracy and technical performance necessary to replace conventional angiography.
The test will be considered not medically necessary if the anticipated results are not expected to provide new, additional information to that already previously obtained from other tests (such as stress myocardial perfusion images or cardiac ultrasound). New or additional information should facilitate the management decision, not merely add a new layer of testing.
The test will be considered not medically necessary if pretest evaluation indicates that the patient would require invasive cardiac angiography for further diagnosis or for therapeutic intervention.
