If I have a physician that performs for example a: Combined Rt heart cath and retrograde Lt heart cath for congenital anomalies and then he injections IVC(total of 2times), LUPVW(left upper pulmonary vein with wedge cath usage and RLPVW(right lower pulmonary vein with wedge cath usage(total of 3times all total), AoA(total of 2times),AoD(total of 1time). How would you code this case?
The physician have selected the following codes
93531
93566 x2
93565x3
93567x3
When I run through the encoder I'm not sure if I need to pick up the codes 93566 (twice), 93565(three times), 93567(three times). I have spoken with the coder hear and she does the physician coding and she says for them she only enter it one time but since I code for the facility I'm confused on how many times I need to capture the charge/cpt code. Please advise
