Ultrasound Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening: Updated Coding Information

CMS updated abdominal aortic aneurysm screening codes in the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 18 (PDF), section 110.3.2, consistent with preventive service guidance. We added ICD-10 diagnosis code Z13.6 in combination with either Z87.891, F17.210, F17.211, F17.213, F17.218, F17.219, or Z84.89.
