1. With reference to the above screenshot ,

Fluoroscopy , USG , ....... are included in 33274 , 33275
This is what confused me...as 33208 is not mentioned here, in specific.

2. My other friend shared this link

Although this is from 2019, hope we can consider this for reference too.

Please share if anyone comes across any other updates on this.

21. Many Pacemaker/Implantable Defibrillator procedures (CPT codes 33202-33249) and Intracardiac Electrophysiology procedures (CPT codes 93600-93662) require intravascular placement of catheters into coronary vessels or cardiac chambers under fluoroscopic guidance. Physicians shall not separately report cardiac catheterization or selective vascular catheterization CPT codes for placement of these catheters. A cardiac catheterization CPT code is separately reportable if it is a medically reasonable, necessary, and distinct service performed at the same or different patient encounter. Fluoroscopy codes (e.g., CPT code 76000) are not separately reportable with the procedures described by CPT codes 33202- 33249 and 93600-93662.
