Intracardiac Echo/Second Request

Date: Oct 15, 2018

Question:

Our office and hospital coders need clarification on the billing of an intracardiac echo. Do you consider ICE (93662) an integral part of an ablation/EPS? Or can ICE be billed in addition to the primary code as long as supervision and an interpretation is documented? There have been conflicting opinions, and I wondered what your recommendation was regarding this code.
