93568 with PDA device closure 93582

Date: Jan 5, 2018

Question:

Can PA angiography (93568) be coded also if performed with PDA device closure (93582)? In the CPT book it states that code 93568 can be used as appropriate with 93582, and recently a physician shared a letter with the facility from SCAI that stated this could be coded together and that we could begin to receive reimbursement for PA angiography (+93568) if performed with PDA device closure (93582). Coding these together, however, creates an edit that the add-on code 93568 is reported without base procedure code. Can these two CPT codes be coded/billed together?
