93655

Date: Dec 23, 2022

Question:

I have a report where a patient has afib and flutter. It states: "The CS catheter showed a left atrial flutter, and cardioversion resulted in ERAF." The next mention of atrial flutter in the report is after the PVI is done for the afib with this follow-up sentence: "The atrial flutter terminated on ablation of the RIPV." Would this qualify for 93655 as a separate mechanism? Any guidance is appreciated.
