    "description": "A non-invasive circulation test of the arms or legs that uses blood pressure cuffs plus Doppler sound or pulse volume recordings, rather than producing pictures of the vessels. Cuff pressures at the limb are compared with pressure at the arm to give indices such as the ankle-brachial index, and the shape of the waveform shows how much the flow has been blunted by disease upstream. The limited version samples only a small number of levels on each side, enough to establish whether significant blockage is present rather than to pin down where it is.",

        "question": "How much did Medicare pay for CPT 93922 in Q3 2018?",
