93623 after ablation but failed to induce atrial flutter

Date: Oct 17, 2022

Question:

My providers always have this statement for 93623, and I am confused on if it's billable or not. This is done after the ablation. Usually with a PVI for Afib when no atrial flutter is ablated.

"Patient was then started on 5 mcg/min of IV Isuprel. Rapid atrial pacing protocols were then employed down to cycle length 250 ms but failed to induce any sustained typical atrial flutter. The Isuprel drip was then discontinued."

Is the 93623 billable in this case?
