93657 for CFAE ablation post PVI ablation

Date: Jan 14, 2020

Question:

Would it be appropriate to report code 93657 for CFAE ablation in absence of atrial fibrillation after PVI ablation (per CPT Assistant 9/1/2019 Frequently Asked Question: Surgery: Cardiovascular)? CPT Assistant's answer would be in contradiction with the description of the code, which states the code is for the treatment of atrial fibrillation remaining.
