Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 93312 covers

A transesophageal echocardiogram uses an ultrasound probe passed into the esophagus to obtain views of the heart and nearby structures. A cardiologist or other qualified physician may use it to evaluate valve disease, suspected endocarditis, prosthetic valves, intracardiac masses, or a possible cardiac source of embolism. The service is performed in settings such as a hospital, outpatient department, or procedure area when transthoracic views are inadequate or a closer view is needed.

Report 93312 when the service includes probe placement, image acquisition, and the physician’s interpretation and report. The record should support the indication, the examination performed, and the findings in the signed report. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation and report; modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service. When multiple cardiovascular diagnostic procedures are performed, the multiple-procedure reduction applies to the technical component.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
