CPCCODERII
Guest
Hi,
I listened to a Zhealth publishing 2013 Updates for Interventional Radiology, Cardiology and Endovascular Surgery webinar today and it briefly discussed the new 2013 EP codes. Could someone please clarify for me on how to bill when our provider performs an EP study, as well as an ablation, but does not perform a complete EP study and so therefore doesnt meet the requirements of billing 93653 or 93654. Do we need to append a 52 modifier to the CPT codes?
I dont have a specific operative report I am referring to, but in the past this provider has documented only partial EP studies (not going into the bundle of HIS, or not mentioning right atrial pacing), which we then billed out each component that he did mention, separately. Performing these limited EP studies is now causing us some some billing confusion, and I would like to make sure we bill these appropriately from the start.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!
