Ablation codes 93662 with 93656 parenthetical note contradiction

Date: Jan 26, 2022

Question:

Looking at the parenthetical notes for CPT codes 93656 and 93662 there seems to be a contradiction.

Under 93662 (ICE) the parenthetical note states to use in conjunction with 93656 ablation code. But when looking at the parenthetical note for 93656 it states DO NOT report with 93662.

For 2022, can ICE be coded along with 93656?
