We offer several configurations of PeriFlux 6000 supporting exams covered by vascular CPT\u00ae codes* 93922, 93923, and 93924. Exams depend on instrument configuration and include ankle pressure and ABI, toe pressure and TBI, segmental pressure, pulse volume recording (PVR), skin perfusion pressure (SPP), transcutaneous oxygen (TcpO2), and treadmill testing (exercise ABI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accurate use of vascular diagnostic CPT codes can streamline billing, maximize reimbursements, and enhance patient care. In this guide to CPT codes 93922, 93923, and 93924, you will find practical insights, examples of the exams included in each code, and answers to questions we are often asked by our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding anatomical locations in vascular testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CPT codes 93922<\/strong>, 93923<\/strong>, and 93924<\/strong> fall under the category of noninvasive vascular diagnostic studies<\/strong> and are used for assessing blood flow in the extremities (arms and legs). The distinction between these codes relates to the level of service<\/strong> provided, based on the complexity of the study and the number of limbs evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single level<\/strong> means the measurement is conducted at one level of the limb, such as the ankle, for example, ankle-brachial index<\/strong> or ABI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple levels<\/strong> involve assessing blood flow at more than one level, such as the thigh, calf, and ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bilateral<\/strong> means that the diagnostic study is performed on both sides of the body <\/strong>\u2014 typically on both arms or both legs. Bilateral studies are common in vascular diagnostics because comparing the blood flow between opposite limbs can help identify differences, such as those caused by blockages, artery disease, or other vascular conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n
