Can a physician's office bill for CPT 93571,26 alone?

Scenario: One of our cardiologist assisted another cardiologist to perform a left heart cath.

The main cardiologist (physician A) performed CPT 93458,26 L HRT ARTERY/VENTRICLE ANGIO . While, the second cardiologist (physician B) only performed CPT 93571,26 INTRAVASCULAR DOPPLER VELOCITY AND/OR PRESSURE DERIVED CORON. CPT 93571 is an add code. How can the practice bill this service when physician B only performed the add on procedure.
CPT 93571 is not billable unless the primary code is billed in conjunction to the add on code.

How should this service be bill? :confused:
