What 93318 covers

93318 describes TEE performed for ongoing cardiac assessment during an operation. An ultrasound probe in the esophagus provides real-time cardiac images. The service includes probe placement, image acquisition, and interpretation. It is reported for intraoperative monitoring in a facility setting, rather than for a diagnostic TEE study or TEE guidance of a transcatheter structural intervention. The interpreting physician reports the professional work; the technical component represents the equipment and staff.

Medicare assigns 93318 physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced. The Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim, and CMS publishes no national payment. The service may be reported globally without a modifier, or with modifier 26 for the professional interpretation and modifier TC for the technical component. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component.
