I believe that is it included in the heart cath. If you read the information before the codes in your CPT of the description of the codes it says right heart cath( left included) includes certain things.One thing included is obtaining blood samples for measurment of blood gases which is the same as taking blood samples for oximetry. Is this what your doc did?
