alcohol ablation VOM

Date: Sep 23, 2022

Question:

It seems like more and more EP providers are doing alcohol ablation for VOM, and it is my understanding that this is part of codes 93656 and 93655. I see that the new service for alcohol VOM ablation has been approved. Does that mean the new service coding has been built? If so, can you please explain exactly how I should bill these procedures moving forward?
