PVI with AVJ ablation

Date: Nov 10, 2023

Question:

A patient with recurrent A-fib undergoes PVI, as well as AVJ ablation to create complete heart block. There does not appear to be an NCCI edit between codes 93656 and 93650. May we report both of these? Or should we report code 93656 and 93655 instead?
