New 2022 EP Ablation bundles

Date: Jan 7, 2022

Question:

I wanted to get your opinion on the new 2022 EP ablation bundles coming in regards to 2D mapping (93609). I know prior to these updates if both 3D mapping and 2D mapping were supported, we could not report both and typically the 3D would be reported. With the new updates, CPT still allows the 2D mapping with the SVT and PVI ablations, but has bundled the 3D mapping with these services. If there is documentation by a provider that clearly shows both 2D mapping was performed and also 3D mapping, what are you thoughts on reporting the 2D mapping now that they have bundled the 3D in with the primary ablation?
