Congenital Saturation Study

Date: Mar 17, 2015

Question:

My physician performed a right and left heart catheterization on a patient. The physician states in the findings/impression of his dictation that a congenital saturation study was done with no evidence of significant intracardiac shunt. Is there a code that I could bill for that, or would that be inclusive with the right and left heart catheterization?
