93312, 93355, and 33340

Date: May 12, 2025

Question:

I have a cardiologist who is asking to charge 93312 and 93355 for his part in a Watchman procedure. He performed a baseline TEE and TEE for guidance, per his report. I see in CPT codebook that these cannot be billed together.

Since an interventional cardiologist performed the Watchman (33340) procedure, should code 93355 or 93312 be reported for the non-interventionalist?
