Does anyone know if when the physician does a right and left heart cath but does not do the left ventriculography, is 93453 the correct code? Would we also still apply the 26 modifier for it being done at the hospital's cath lab?
Tell me about it! I was reading cath reports yesterday and it was strange to me not to care about the left ventriculography anymore. So used to billing it separately....
