Question:

What specific wording in the documentation do you look for in 93312, 93320, 93325 to code and bill out all three CPT codes? I was told in the past that if the documentation says "atrial appendage free from thrombus" and/or mention of velocity, pulse wave, continuous wave, that if any of this is documented to report code 93320 valve regurgitation and/or stenosis documented code 93325. Please clarify.
