Carina line and 93657

Date: Nov 20, 2018

Question:

We have a doctor who performs additional ablation on the Carina post complete PVI. Due to its anatomical location we are wondering if this qualifies for the 93657 charge and if the patient has to be in A-fib in order to charge 93657 at all or if the additional ablation needs to be in a different region. Please advise.
