93286/93287 with VT and PVI Ablations

Date: Oct 17, 2019

Question:

Is it appropriate to report codes  93286/93287 (peri-procedural device evaluation pre/post procedure for pacemaker/ICD) with VT (93654) or PVI (93656) ablations? I just noticed a parenthetical statement in CPT that states do not report in conjunction with each other. I was not aware of this and wanted to get your opinion.
