Coronary Angiography with Epicardial Ablation

Date: Nov 5, 2021

Question:

Left coronary angiography was performed to exclude coronary trauma during epicardial ablation. Provider reported code 93454 in addition to the ablation and EP codes, but I am not convinced we can bill for the coronary angiography. I do not normally see this. I realize we can't bill it for guidance... does this fall in the same category?
