Ablation (93653) and angiogram in the aortic root were done.

Date: Sep 10, 2018

Question:

An angiogram in the aortic root was done prior to an EP ablation study (SVT) by a different cardiologist. Should I report code 93567 in addition to the EP study? Echo (prior the procedure) stated: "Left coronary artery is less clearly visualized. Will perform angiography at time of ablation. The angiogram was done to evaluate the coronary artery anatomy. The results were normal."
