Hello everyone,
Do you still continue to code the conscious sedation/ MAC codes 99152/99153) along with TEE ?
I was researching and found this 2022 update from CMS website.

Can anyone confirm if we can / cannot code MAC, if no other procedure but only the TEE is performed?
Also , can we code the findings as diagnosis for a TEE report ?
TIA,
Vid
