CPT 93462

Date: Dec 13, 2018

Question:

Patient had a full comprehensive EP study performed (93620) and also LHC by transseptal puncture (93462) for monitoring left atrial pressures, as well as ICE (93662), LA pacing and recording (93621), and IV drug infusion (93623). Craneware shows no edits with all of these codes. However, Revenue Cycle is stating that 93462 is hitting an edit because there is no primary code. We are unable to find any reference that states 93462 cannot be added to 93620. Please advise.
