Patient presents for diagnositic right heart catheterization. A Swan-Ganz cath was advanced in a retrograde manner while monitoring pressures. Coronary angiography was performed using JR-JL-4 and angled pigtail catheter. There were no complications and minimal blood loss. Upon completion of the procedure, sheaths were removed and Angio-Seal was deployed.
This is what was billed:
93460-26
93503-59
I disagree with the billing of 93503 because the intent of a Swan Ganz cath is that it is left in in order to measure intra-cardiac pressures over a period of time. Any thoughts?
