Coronary Angiography during Ablation
Date: Jan 6, 2014
Question:
When a patient is in the EP lab for an ablation, and a coronary angiogram is done (to determine ablation locations so as not to disrupt coronary), the coronary angiogram is performed by a cardiologist during the EP ablation, not by the electrophysiologist who is performing ablation. Can we charge code 93454?
