echocardiograms
Where would I find a complete list of acceptable diagnosisi for an echocardiogram by itself and then with doppler and color flow?
Thank you

Why not
Ask the company that makes the machine? Manufacturers are a great resource for things like this.
Acceptable diagnosis codes
If the company can't help you, you can search your carrier's website for local or national coverage determinations for cardiology tests. These documents are topic oriented, and list specific CPT codes, and the indications/medical necessity (i.e. diagnosis codes) that support them.
