TEE charge code for procedure room time?

Date: Sep 23, 2020

Question:

For a TEE procedure, is there a charge code for procedure room use/time? We do the TEEs in the cath lab (pre-intra-post), but Cardiology gets to bill for the TEE procedure because it is their machine and the US tech, yet the cath lab supplies everything else.
