heparinization and 93458 and not 93463

Date: Mar 29, 2012

Question:

Good morning, After checking national CCI edits we have a question. When billing for a cardiac cath 93456 is the heparinization inclusive (CPT 93463) or billable separately? We ask because the description of 93456 says includes contrast imaging. Thank you, Jackie
