With apologies ...

The answer is, of course, it depends ... need a bit more of a fact pattern
in order to separate those qualifying as G0365 (pre-fistula on a virgin arm
- bilateral would require the use of a modifier &, arguably, documentation
of medical necessity - conditional orders are useful), versus 93970 versus
93971 versus 93930 versus 93931 versus physiologic testing (e.g., 93923).
Protocols are useful (e.g., define complete vs limited, etc.) ...

All the best,

/fww

Subject: fistula mapping

Less than exciting but you all could maybe be helpful to me again.  I work
in general sonography ( we do  all the usual-DVT, Art physiologic, carotids)
and we are getting more that a few requests for " BUE, fistula mapping
protocol"  and of course we don't have one. Please tell me what's important
and why ( the evelyn wood version would help) and maybe a few protocol hints
and billing #.  thanks so much Elizabeth MI/RDMS
