At least here in Virginia the updates to ABI read that it is not
separately reimbursable under the 93922 code. And that if an ABI is
positive and an angiogram is anticipated they are to just do the
angiogram. So that is leading use in the lab there to mean that they
need to be done by the physician in the office before they get to us,
but they read odd.

This is on the 2009 Medicare Fee schedule.
Is it for the PV Lab or the clinician?

G8513    A    ABI MEASURED AND DOCUMENTED
G8514    A    CLINICIAN DOCUMENTED THAT PATIENT WAS NOT AN ELIGIBLE 
CANDIDATE FOR ABI
G8515    A    ABI MEASUREMENT WAS NOT OBTAINED


Thanks in advance.
