93621

Date: Jan 11, 2018

Question:

Can add-on code 93621 be reported for catheter advanced from the LFV to the CS for mapping of mitral valve annulus? (CPT 93653 is my primary code). "A Bard dynamic decapolar 6 French catheter was advanced from the LFV to the CS for mapping of the mitral valve annulus. A St Jude 6 French Daig quadripolar catheter was advanced to the right ventricle from the RFV. A St. Jude duo-decapolar BDB Livewire catheter was advanced via a 7 French LFV sheath, and the entirety of the right atrium while in the flutter was mapped. The TCL was 220 msec."
