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.
This article provides billing/coding guidelines that complement Local Coverage Determination L34417 for CT of the head; consult LCD L34417 for specific coverage, coding, and documentation requirements.
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.

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).
Bill HCPCS code G0278 for femoral or iliac angiography performed at the time of coronary angiography.
Aortography and peripheral angiography are covered when reasonable and necessary per Local Coverage Determination L36767 and when documentation supports the selected ICD-10-CM diagnosis and medical necessity.
