Aborted EP Study Possible Ablation

Date: Jan 27, 2020

Question:

We have a patient who presented with plan for EP study with PVC ablation. The patient had no PVC on arrival, so they infused Isuprel. This was taken up to 2 mcg/min and then 4 and 8. No PVCs were seen, so the procedure was aborted. Since the Isuprel is an add-on code and needs the parent code, what do you recommend we bill in this instance? Would you use 93619-73 and 93623 or something else?
