What 93593 covers
This diagnostic catheterization evaluates right-heart hemodynamics in a patient with congenital heart disease and normal native connections. A cardiologist or other qualified physician advances a catheter through the venous circulation into the right heart and pulmonary arteries to assess pressures and related hemodynamic measurements. The service is typically performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Medicare assigns status C: CMS publishes no national payment, and the local Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The service has a 0-day global period. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, modifier TC the technical service, and no modifier represents the global service. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment requires medical-necessity documentation, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

93593 billing questions
When should 93593 be used instead of 93594?
Use 93593 for congenital heart disease with normal native connections. Use 93594 when the native connections are abnormal.
Can 93593 be reported with modifier 26 or TC?
Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service. Reporting without either modifier represents the global service.
How does Medicare determine payment for 93593?
It has Medicare physician fee schedule status C. CMS publishes no national payment; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim.
How does 93593 differ from a combined right and left heart catheterization?
93593 describes right heart catheterization only. Codes 93596 and 93597 describe combined right and left heart catheterization, for normal and abnormal native connections, respectively.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported for 93593?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only with documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
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.
