93463

Date: Feb 26, 2018

Question:

Can you please clarify what documentation is needed to support reporting code 93463 with a left heart catheterization? Our provider includes the statement, "Intra-arterial administration of verapamil 2.5 mg and nitroglycerin 200 mcg with an appropriate hemodynamic response," at the end of his heart catheterization dictation. Is this enough to report code 93463?
