93622

Date: Sep 10, 2018

Question:

Please clarify: Coder's Desk Reference indicates a fourth catheter should be moved into the left ventricle. Can you report this add-on code 93622 if provider documents the catheter is moved into the CS and pacing/recording performed? When I queried, provider indicated both left atrium and ventricle were paced/recorded from this position. Is this sufficient to bill the additional add-on code?
