Can anyone explain to me why we cant bill for a 93287 when the provider is doing an Afib/abl (93656). the 93287 is for the turning off and then resetting of the device parimeters before and after the ablation. Does anyone know why we can't use this?:confused:
 
because the device programming is built into the PVI ablation according to NCCI edits. You can bill device programming with SVT ablation (93653), but not VT (93654) or PVI (93656). I know it doesn't make sense, just like 3D mapping is built into 93654 but not 93653 or 93656. It's just they way they're built.
