I have an physician who has done an avn 93650 with complete EPS w/la P&R.I'm running into and edit w/the 93621. The cpt book does not say you can't put the two together, but it also does not say you can. Any comments?

My thoughts on this would be :


CPT code 93650 does not include complete EPS

Therefore you would need to code 93620 with appropriate modifier

CPT code 93621 is an add on code which in this case would be an add on code to 93620

Thank you for replying. When you read in ZHealth it states that the EPS is included w/ the AVN ABL.
Does anyone else have any comments?

that is interesting...

93650: Intra cardiac catheter ablation of artrioventricular node function, artrioventricular conduction for creation of complete heart block, with or without temporary pacemaker.

The other ablations codes (93653, 93654, 93656) all state with comprehensive electrophysiology evaluation where as 93650 does not.

I was under impression there was limited ep eval but not comprehensive for 93650.

I would also be interested in hearing what others have experienced in this scenario.

There is no CCI edit with 93650, 93620, 93621. Thanks
