CPT 93306 AND 93308 WITH 93325 SAME DAY SEPARATE SESSIONS

Date: Oct 27, 2023

Question:

Physician performs a limited TEE CPT 93308-26 with 93325. On same day at different session physician performs a complete TEE with Doppler and color flow (93306-26). How should 93308-26 with 93325 be coded? I can use modifier -59/-XE on 93308-26, but what about 93325? Since it is an add-on code, guidelines state no modifier usage on add-on codes. How should this be coded?
