Echocardiography
About 93319: Congenital cardiac 3D echo rendering
Reports workstation-based 3D echocardiographic rendering, interpretation, and reporting performed to assess congenital cardiac anatomy alongside a primary congenital echo study.
This service adds three-dimensional rendering and interpretation of echocardiographic images for a congenital cardiac anomaly. The images undergo postprocessing on an independent workstation, and the interpreting physician documents the resulting anatomy in a report. A congenital transthoracic or transesophageal study may provide the source images; examples of the anatomy assessed include complex septal defects or abnormal cardiac outflow structures.
Report 93319 only with an eligible primary congenital echocardiography procedure, such as a complete or limited congenital transthoracic study or a congenital transesophageal study. Documentation should identify the congenital concern, support the need for 3D assessment, and show independent-workstation postprocessing and interpretation. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

93319 billing questions
Can 93319 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on and must be reported with an eligible primary congenital echocardiography procedure.
What documentation supports 93319?
Document the congenital cardiac anatomy being assessed, the 3D image postprocessing performed on an independent workstation, and the physician’s interpretation and report.
Does a routine 2D congenital echo support this code?
No. The service requires 3D rendering with independent-workstation postprocessing; routine 2D image acquisition and interpretation alone are not enough.
Which primary studies can be paired with 93319?
Common eligible congenital studies include 93303, 93304, 93315, and 93317. Report the primary study that reflects the actual transthoracic or transesophageal service.
Is 93319 the same as a strain imaging add-on?
No. 93319 covers 3D rendering for congenital cardiac anomalies; 93356 reports myocardial strain imaging using speckle tracking.
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.
