2 docs/one did LHC and one did RHC

Date: Nov 25, 2014

Question:

I have a scenario where one cardiologist did a lhc and then during the same operative setting, another cardiologist stepped in and did a rhc. Would I bill these out separately as they were performed? Or bill as 93460-26 for both? If 93460, what modifier would I use? They have both dictated their own portion but modifier 80 doesnt seem to fit and modifier 62 isn't allowed for this px.
