can isuprel be billed in this situation:
i don't think we can, but the doctor would like to try. IF it gets denied, does the whole case get denied or simply the isuprel code of 93623?
thanks in advance
Ablation of the slow AV nodal pathway was then undertaken using a Vizigo sheath for stability and a 4mm Navistar ablation catheter with Carto. A total of 6 lesions were delivered. During the 3 ablations, there were multiple junctional beats. We waited for at least 20 min after the last ablation. Despite up to triple atrial extrastimuli from the CS, on and off of Isuprel up to 5mcg/min, and burst atrial pacing to AV WB CL, no arrhythmias were inducible. There was evidence of slow pathway conduction with a 20ms echo window at the end of the case.
