Hello again,

Need your inputs on

1. How do you code

- Echo (TTE) with Bubble study - done at Hospital
- Echo (TTE) Bubble portion only - at office

2.What documentation to look for in the reports in specific to bubble portion?

I am unable to find any specific CPT code for Bubble portion.
Can I continue with 93306 - 26 (hospital) and 93306 ( for office).

Appreciate any suggestions.


Thanks,
Vid
 
Hello

There isnt a separate code for a TTE with a bubble study. Office 93306, do not report administration of the agitated saline solution separately. Hospital TTE bubble study, bill 93306-26 if a complete echo was performed. The hospital will bill for the supply of the saline solution.

hope this link still works

Cardiology Question for the Week of May 9, 2016

Question: Should we charge for the intravenous (IV) insertion and the supplies when we perform a bubble study echocardiogram, or should we bill only for the echo (93306)?
