# CPT 93320

> Medicare paid $52.95 for CPT 93320 in the office (non-facility) setting and $52.95 in a facility under the Q4 2022 Physician Fee Schedule, effective October 2022. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2022, when it decreased 2.7%.

## What it is

An add-on to a heart ultrasound that measures the speed and direction of blood flow using pulsed and continuous wave Doppler, shown as a waveform trace rather than as a picture. Those velocity traces are what let a cardiologist estimate the pressure difference across a valve, grade how tight a narrowing or how severe a leak is, and infer pressure in the lung circulation. The full version means flow is sampled across the relevant valves and chambers rather than at a single spot.
