Cardioversion and TEE in one report?

Date: Aug 30, 2023

Question:

Is it appropriate to code CV and TEE if they are both documented in the same report? In the past we have been told that TEE and CV each needs its own report. If MD only does a TEE report with quick reference to CV do I charge/code TEE only?
