Dear Colleagues,

With respect to DVA billing item numbers, specifically F104 Peripheral Vascular Assessment (Arterial and Venous).
I see several DVA patients whom experience peripheral vascular disease and also diabetes mellitus.
My question is, how often can we typically perform a 'screening' F104 assessment on a patient and reasonably claim payment from the DVA? Every 3 months? 6 months? What would be an acceptable time frame? - What is everyone else doing???
I was completing 'screening' doppler assessments upon DVA patients annually, until I recently routinely performed a doppler on a patient with "mild" peripheral vascular disease and discovered severe insufficiency in his right tibialis posterior artery. This resulted in emergency angioplasty and actually salvaged his foot. Needless to say this had not been detected by the GP. -
If others could please advise of their current practice with respect to the above, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks colleagues.
