support 93623?

Date: Apr 9, 2024

Question:

I have a provider who is using adenosine to check for additional arrhythmias. As a coder, I'm not seeing in his documentation that it supports the additional code, and it looks like he is doing this to confirm adequacy of the ablation. The provider states that the documentation below supports 93623. Do you feel this supports adding 93623?

"The ablation catheter was then placed in the left ventricle, and adenosine was administered in two separate doses to achieve transient AV block. Left ventricular pacing was performed without evidence of an accessory pathway. There was no evidence of latent conduction in either the left or right-sided veins."
