Discontinued EP Study

Date: Feb 16, 2022

Question:

What is the correct code to report when a patient has an EP study performed that is discontinued due to no PVCs? The report indicates anesthesia is administered in preparation for groin access, but no PVCs were noted, so they did not proceed with venous access. IV isuprel was administered and titrated up to high-dose and stopped for washout phase. No PVCs were noted, and the decision was made not to pursue any invasive EP study.
