93303, 93319, 93320, 93325

Date: Feb 25, 2022

Question:

I need your opinion on new code 93319. Our facility performed echo congenital complete, color Doppler, Doppler complete, 3D echo rendering online. Code 93319 is a new code for 2022 and is bundling with color flow 93325. Is the appropriate coding for this procedure 93303, 93320, and 93319?

"Left Ventricle: Normal left ventricular size and mildly depressed systolic function. Mild or grade I (impaired relaxation pattern) left ventricular diastolic filling. Left ventricular ejection fraction by 3D analysis is 53%. Normal left ventricular wall thickness. Normal left ventricular mass (linear), 97 g/m²." 

Is this enough to support 93319?
