This billing/coding guideline complements LCD L33459 (Computerized Axial Tomography (CT), Thorax); follow the LCD for clinical coverage and any required documentation or prior authorization rules.
When a limited or follow-up echocardiogram is performed, document the targeted cardiac problem/region and bill using the appropriate CPT code (93308 or 93321).
If the study is a screening exam, document and bill with the appropriate screening ICD-10 code; document any abnormal findings and use the resulting diagnosis for subsequent billing when applicable.
Document use of ultrasound contrast enhancement and its supplies separately when billed, and do not submit separate claims for diagnostic injection services integral to the contrast procedure.

Follow-up or limited transthoracic echocardiography performed to evaluate a single specified cardiac problem or region must be billed with CPT 93308.
Limited Doppler/follow-up echocardiographic studies (for targeted velocity or gradient assessment) should be billed with CPT 93321 (e.g., tricuspid regurgitant velocity to estimate pulmonary artery systolic pressure or sequential transmitral velocity in mitral stenosis).
Therapeutic procedures whose principal aim is to treat a respiratory impairment must be billed using HCPCS codes G0237, G0238, or G0239.
CPT 94762 is medically necessary when intermittent arterial blood gas sampling is likely to miss important variations in the patient's respiratory status.
CPT 94762 is medically necessary when the patient has hypoxemia and there is a need to assess supplemental oxygen requirements and/or a therapeutic oxygen regimen.
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is covered when the patient's medical record documents medical necessity consistent with the LCD indications for TTE.
