Bill,

We don't charge for the ABI only the duplex.

Hi, Was talking with a colleaque and a question arose about the routine post-op
follow up of lower extremity bypass. It would seem that imaging has become
pretty much the standard along with an ABI. (I am talking about obtaining
waveforms at the ankle here in addition to obtaining the pressure.) Our question
was, how many of you charge for the physiologic component in addition to the
duplex charge? Those that charge for both, any problems with payment?? Thanks.
