93464 Documentation

Date: Oct 17, 2022

Question:

Does it matter how a patient is exercised when reporting 93464 during a heart cath? The report I am currently reviewing documents, "With lower extremity exercise, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure remained fixed at 28 mmHg." That is the only place exercise is mentioned. Is this sufficient to bill for 93464?
