Coronary angiogram with EP ablation

Date: Jul 22, 2019

Question:

I see an answer from 2018 and just want to be sure the guidance has not changed. A cardiologist goes to the EP lab to shoot the coronaries during an ablation (usually a VT ablation) - we would not bill for the coronary angiogram. The cardiologist cannot bill either. (If called to do angiogram for sudden onset of CP - can we bill?)
