Us echo color flow doppler (93325)

Hi
Please advise whether we can bill separately the code US ECHO COLOR FLOW DOPPLER (93325) or there must be some primary coder which needs to be billed along with these code since most insurance denied the claim stating as Primary code is Missing.
Please advise
Braddy

93325 is an add-on code. the code must be used in conjunction with other codes. The other codes are listed in a parenthetical note under the code description

Jack you should've let them look it up and learn for themselves why it was being denied. Don't empower weak coders to remain weak. Our profession deserves better.

please know that it is not only "coders" who use this site, and have some consideration of the fact?

While I do understand and promote (and concur in theory, btw) the adage of "teaching someone to fish" instead of doing the fishing FOR them - I also know that some use of this site is by other professionals than coders.
I, myself, have made ample use of this site - I am a Quality Assurance Professional in my organization, and happen to be extremely LUCKY to have both a copy of the 2014 CPT® codebook AND the HCPCS codebook.
(not all do, and not all info is available via Google)
And I STILL cannot make things out at times.

I think it important to and for all that 'guidance' is offered and used for those asking seemingly "just go find it" types of questions, and not necessarily what appear to be angry imperatives to do so?
