CPT Knowledgebase - Apr 30, 2015

My physician is a pediatric cardiologist who evaluates many infants and children for heart murmurs which can signal congenital heart defects. Part of the evaluation can involve the performance of a complete echocardiogram. Which CPT code should be reported for this imaging study when the evaluation does not find evidence of congenital heart anomaly? Would CPT codes 93303-93304 be reported? This seems to be the correct code only when congenital anomalies of the heart are found.
