In recent times, new codes have been added to reflect technological advances and to allow bundling of codes that could be reported together. In 2018, 16 new codes (34701–34716)were added for endovascular repair of abdominal aorta and/or iliac arteries and four related codes (34812, 34820, 34833, and 34834) were revised.
2016 2017 2018 2019 Billable/Specific Code POA Exempt. Z95.828 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95.828 became effective on October 1, 2018.

Minimally Invasive Alternative For AAA Repair Abdominal endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) that results in reduced recovery times and potentially improved survival rates.
The ICD-10-CM code to support AAA screening is Z13. 6 Encounter for screening for cardiovascular disorders [abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)].
EVAR is used in the lower section of the abdominal aorta, just above the point where the femoral arteries branch off. FEVAR is used in the upper abdominal aorta where the renal arteries branch off to the kidneys.
ICD-10 code I71. 4 for Abdominal aortic aneurysm, without rupture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
CPT® code 76706: Ultrasound, abdominal aorta, real time with image documentation, screening study for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) Short Descriptor: Us abdl aorta screen AAA.
If a patient has just an abdominal aorta ultrasound, do we use code 76770 or 76775? Code 76706 is assigned when a screening ultrasound for AAA is ordered for a Medicare beneficiary. Otherwise, code 76775 would be assigned.
Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a procedure to treat AAAs with an endograft (a device) without the need for open surgery. In this procedure, a single or bilateral incision is made in the groin, and a stent graft is passed into the aneurysm from a catheter inserted via the femoral artery.
Unibody branched stent grafts. These devices resemble complex versions of the Ancure and Trivascular bifurcated abdominal aortic aneurysm devices. In this approach, preattached limbs are towed or pushed into position by using catheters, depending on the availability of downstream branch artery access.
The FEVAR is a more complicated operation and can take between 2 to 5 hours to complete. You'll generally have to stay in hospital for around 3 to 5 days. The procedure will be carried out under general anaesthetic with two small 1cm cuts in both groins.
CPT code 34813 is used if a femoral-femoral prosthetic graft is required during the endovascular repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. When the abdominal aortic aneurysm cannot be repaired via an endovascular approach and an open approach must be used to complete the procedure, use CPT codes 34830, 34831, or 34832.

"A complete ultrasound examination of the abdomen (76700) consists of real-time scans of the liver, gallbladder, common bile duct, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and the upper abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava including any demonstrated abdominal abnormality."
G0389 is a valid 2022 HCPCS code for Ultrasound b-scan and/or real time with image documentation; for abdominal aortic aneurysm (aaa) screening or just “Ultrasound exam aaa screen” for short, used in Diagnostic radiology.
CPT® 76705, Under Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures of the Abdomen and Retroperitoneum. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 76705 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures of the Abdomen and Retroperitoneum.
