Contrast Ultrasound of an Additional Area

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 76979

An ultrasound study in which tiny gas bubbles are injected into a vein so blood flowing through a suspicious area lights up on the scan and its pattern of filling can be judged. This covers examining a further area during the same session, each with its own injection, and is billed in addition to the first.
