IV Drug stimulation and Pacing after ablation

Date: Aug 24, 2020

Question:

After pulmonary vein isolation is confirmed, and the physician then says isoproterenol was used to induce non-PV triggers and no other arrhythmias were induced, it is my understanding that if an IV drug stimulation is performed after an ablation that we cannot charge for the 93623. Is that correct?
