What is transesophageal echocardiography? Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a test that produces pictures of your heart. TEE uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to make detailed pictures of your heart and the arteries that lead to and from it.
The patientâs medical record should document the necessity for TEE, and TEE should only be performed if it is expected to alter the care of the patient. Intraoperative TEE for monitoring purposes (CPT code 93318) is a non-covered service by the majority of Medicare Carriers. A few carriers provide coverage of this service for a small group of high-risk patients. Providers are advised to check their individual carrierâs website.
