Default TEE guided transseptal puncture/EP study

Anyone know what code to use for a TEE guided transseptal puncture during an EP study? I know the 93462, how about the TEE part? if you even can....
Also, can you bill for a transseptal puncture X2.

Thanks!
Happy Friday

93318 is for TEE guidance but seeing the report might help. Thanks

And 93462 can only be billed once per encounter.

Thanks so much! I kinda knew you could only bill one transseptal, but have never seen the TEE guidance.
