Pt has surgery

pre tee read by dr x cardiologist

post tee read by dr y cardiothoracic that performed surgery

can both be coded?
Different specialties
different offices
 
Checked with another coder on this one.....Is this strickly for the read only? Who performed the actual TEE both times? I would think if the surgeon performed and read the 2nd one that you could use a modifier 77 possibly. If done by the surgeon both times, possibly the 76 for the second one would be appropriate. The 26 would be used for the read only portion, I would think. Any other input from anyone???
