Echocardiography
About 93314: Transesophageal echo imaging and interpretation
Reports image acquisition, physician interpretation, and documentation for a transesophageal echocardiogram when probe placement is billed separately.
This service covers obtaining transesophageal echocardiographic images and providing the interpretation and report, without the probe-placement service. A transesophageal study uses an ultrasound probe in the esophagus to assess cardiac structures; cardiologists commonly interpret these studies in hospital or other facility settings. The code fits the imaging-and-interpretation portion when probe placement is performed and reported separately, rather than a complete study that includes placement.
Report the service supported by the record: the acquired images, the physician’s interpretation, and a written report. Use modifier 26 for the professional interpretation component, modifier TC for the technical component, or no component modifier for the global service. The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component. If probe placement and the imaging-and-interpretation work are reported separately, documentation should distinguish those services; a complete TEE including probe placement is represented by 93312.

93314 billing questions
How does 93314 differ from 93312?
93314 covers image acquisition, interpretation, and reporting without probe placement. 93312 represents the complete transesophageal study, including probe placement.
Can 93314 be reported with 93313?
They may represent separately performed probe placement and imaging-and-interpretation services. The record should support each service; 93313 describes probe placement only.
Which modifier identifies the physician interpretation?
Append modifier 26 for the professional component. Modifier TC identifies the technical component, and billing without either modifier represents the global service.
Does the multiple procedure reduction affect both components?
The cardiovascular diagnostic multiple procedure reduction applies to the technical component of 93314.
What documentation supports 93314?
Keep documentation of the TEE images acquired, the physician’s interpretation, and the resulting report. When placement is separately billed, the record should also support that distinct service.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
