Follow-Up Or Limited Echocardiogram

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 93308

This is a focused ultrasound exam of the heart that looks at a narrower set of structures or re-checks specific findings, rather than performing a complete evaluation of every heart chamber, valve, and vessel. It's commonly used to track a previously identified problem over time, such as monitoring fluid around the heart or watching a valve issue, without repeating a full exam each time. Images are still captured and interpreted by a physician, just with a more targeted scope.
