New Cardiology add on code 93319 3D Echocardiography

Date: Feb 16, 2022

Question:

Is new add-on code 93319 (3D echocardiography) a professional charge only, or can this also be an add-on for facility TC component as well? RVU is for professional only. In Vitalware it shows a "Facility NA indicator" as 0, and 0 identifies codes that describe physician services. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there any specific documentation that needs to be included in the report to charge for add-on code 93319?
