Concomitant LAAO + Afib Ablation

Date: May 21, 2025

Question:

With the concomitant LAAO + Afib ablation, does the same physician have to do both procedures to qualify for DRG 317, or does it just have to be done together? How do the RVUs work if done by two different physicians? Do they still get 33340 = 14 and 93656 = 17? We are looking into having our EP physician do the Afib ablation part and then having our structural physician do the LAAO.
