From the
Wall Street Medicare billing database in 2015, I find a Dr J. P. WEISS, 324 TENTH AVE 206 | SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. Assume the middle initial P is for Peter.
I selected the following procedure codes that relate to Afib. Note that CODE 93657-F is probably the most significant for ablations.
CODE: 93656-F: Evaluation and insertion of catheters for recording, pacing, and treatment of abnormal heart rhythm
CODE: 93655-F: Insertion of catheters for treatment of abnormal heart rhythm
CODE: 93613-F: Insertion of catheters for 3D mapping of electrical impulses to heart muscles
CODE: 93657-F: Destruction of tissue of right or left upper heart chamber via catheter for treatment of abnormal heart rhythm (RFI - no cryo)
CODE: 93462-F: Insertion of catheter into left heart for diagnosis
CODE: 93621-F: Insertion of catheters for recording, pacing, and attempted induction of abnormal rhythm in left upper heart
