Disorder of artery Disorder of carotid artery ICD-10-CM I77.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 299 Peripheral vascular disorders with mcc
Occlusion and stenosis of bilateral carotid arteries. I65.23 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM I65.23 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I65.23 - other international versions of ICD-10 I65.23 may differ.
Echocardiogram abnormal ICD-10-CM R93.1 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 302 Atherosclerosis with mcc 303 Atherosclerosis without mcc
Disorder of arteries and arterioles, unspecified. I77.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM I77.9 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I77.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 I77.9 may differ.
1 to report a pulsatile neck mass. Use ICD-10-CM code R09. 89 to report a carotid bruit.
Your doctor will recommend carotid ultrasound if you have transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or certain types of stroke and may recommend a carotid ultrasound if you have medical conditions that increase the risk of stroke, including: High blood pressure. Diabetes. High cholesterol.
Description of Cpt Code 93880 & 93882 The very commonly used CPT code for carotid Doppler is 93880 when the exam is performed on both carotid arteries.
ICD-10 Codes That Support Medical Necessity and Covered by Medicare Program: Group 1 Paragraph: Extracranial Arteries Studies (93880-93882) Use a diagnosis code of R22. 1 (localized swelling, mass, and lump, neck) to report pulsatile neck mass.
CPT code 93880 describes a “complete bilat- eral” study that generally involves cross sectional evaluation of the plaque for morphology and luminal compromise as well as Doppler spectral analysis with velocity measure- ments of the blood flow at several locations.
If you have risk factors, signs, or symptoms of carotid artery disease, your doctor may recommend an ultrasound test to check for it. Some companies sell ultrasound screening. But insurance doesn't pay for these tests because experts don't recommend them.
This type of plaque can cause clots to form, which can cause a stroke. Doppler studies are used to help identify these types of plaques ahead of time to prevent a stroke from happening. Carotid duplex is an ultrasound procedure performed to assess blood flow through the carotid artery to the brain.
A carotid artery Doppler ultrasound is a diagnostic test used to check the circulation in the large arteries in the neck. This exam shows any blockage in the veins by a blood clot or “thrombus” formation.
For evaluation of carotid arteries, use CPT codes 93880, duplex scan of extracranial arteries, complete bilateral study or 93882, unilateral or limited study.
CPT® Code 93880 in section: Duplex scan of extracranial arteries.
Carotid procedures and testing are covered when Medicare coverage criteria are met. Non-invasive test of carotid function (direct and indirect) is covered when criteria are met.
For example, when an uninterpretable non-invasive physiologic study (CPT code 93922, 93923 or 93924) is performed which results in performing a duplex scan (CPT codes 93925 or 93926), only the duplex scan should be billed.

Abstract: Non-invasive vascular studies utilize ultrasonic Doppler and physiologic principles to assess irregularities in blood flow in arterial and venous systems. The display may be a two dimensional image with spectral analysis and color flow or a plethysmographic recording.
