CT 3D Reconstruction with EP Ablation

Date: Aug 31, 2022

Question:

One of our providers has started documenting CT 3D reconstruction performed at the start of the EP study portion of ablation, codes 93653, 93654, and 93656. The OP note states, "The patient's CT scan was segmented and 3D reconstructed for procedural planning." Would this be coded as 76376? Is it separately reportable with an ablation (no NCCI edits to indicate either way)? Is the provider's one sentence above sufficient documentation?
