93319 with 93306 and 93308
Date: Jun 1, 2022
Question:
Code 93319 can be submitted in addition to codes for TEE exams (93312, 93314, 93315, 93317) as well as congenital TTE procedures (93303, 93304). The TEE codes describe both non-congenital (93312-93314) and congenital imaging procedures (93315, 93317). We are a having a debate whether codes 93306 and 93308 can be billed with add-on code 93319, as there is no NCCI edit, but the CPT Codebook does not state that they can be billed with 93319. What is your thought this?
