Question:
Is CPT code 93463 billable for the physician side? A doctor had performed a dobutamine challenge for aortic stenosis assessment during a heart cath. In his documentation, he stated the resting peak and mean gradients along with his findings. Hospital/facility side is saying it's only a technical charge whether he administered it or not. Please advise.
