CPT code 93306 pertains to the echocardiography procedure, specifically a transthoracic (non-invasive) exam with Doppler flow velocity analysis. This procedure is used to assess the structure and function of the heart by creating images using sound waves.
During the exam, a technician will place a transducer on the patient's chest to emit sound waves, which create images of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow patterns. Doppler flow velocity analysis measures the speed and direction of blood flow within the heart and blood vessels.
CPT code 93306 is typically billed by healthcare providers such as cardiologists, radiologists, or sonographers when performing echocardiograms to evaluate patients with symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats.
It is important to note that CPT code 93306 may be used in conjunction with other echocardiography codes to fully capture the complexity of the procedure performed. Additionally, reimbursement rates for this code may vary depending on the payer and the specific circumstances of the exam.
