Wiki 3-D Transesophageal Echo

[alpamber@hotmail.com]

I need help coding a 3-D TEE. Would I use 93312 (2-D), or should I use 93799 (unlisted cardiovascular study)? I don't see a code for the 3-D TEE in the Medicine section or Category III codes.

You would go ahead and use the 93312 plus 76376.

- The CPT codes used to report 3D rendering for echocardiography
.
-CPT 76376, not requiring image postprocessing on an independent
workstation, and the most common code used for 3D rendering
done with echocardiography
