93318 bundles into lead extraction codes. When is it appropriate to unbundle this?

what is the DX

Hello

Ok so I have been raking my brain trying to think why A) it is bundled and B) what an appropriate scenario that would justify the TEE

I believe that under normal circumstance you would not need a TEE to remove leads but if you had a physiological reason for needing to monitor heart function that that would probably work

Do you have a reason why they used the TEE at the time of extraction?
:cool:
